Managing a 2D Animation

You can manage the animation of a 2D shape within the Dymola Behavior Modeling app and see the computation results in the Variable Browser.

This task shows you how to:

Before you begin: From the Package Browser, open the Modelica Standard Library, then select Modelica.StateGraph.Examples and activate ControlledTanks.

Visualize a 2D Animation

You can visualize the animation of a 2D shape and display the corresponding computation results.

  1. Execute a behavior.
    • The virtual execution is launched.

      The 2D diagram animation starts.



  2. To manage the virtual execution, use the Experience Player toolbar.

    Tip: To perform the virtual execution at real time speed, select Real time from the Simulation Options dialog box. You can also set a speed factor. See Managing Simulation Options Using the Simulation Options Dialog Box.

  3. To see the result of the simulation, consult the Variable Browser.

    Tip: You can display variable names and values dynamically on the diagram. See Monitoring Variables on the Diagram.

  4. To display information about the compilation, click the Messages Reporting window icon to the right on your screen.

Manage Subcomponents in a 2D Animation

You can display a subcomponent during the virtual execution.

  1. Launch the virtual execution.
  2. Select a subcomponent.
  3. From the context toolbar, select Show Component .
    The subcomponent appears while the virtual execution is launched.

    Tip: If you want to go back to display the class, select it from the Package Browser.
