Hello dear Comsol gurus,

I have made a CFD simulation (stationary) which is based on the model library example of the static mixer. I have also generated the slices and surfaces to see how my fluids are being mixed (using concentration results) but I would like to make an animation with them.

Is there a way to make an animation using the slices (or surfaces)? This animation then would depend on the distance (on x for example) and not on time.

Thank you in advance

Best regards

Miguel

Try the following:

- Global Definitions > Parameters: Add a parameter that denotes the plane's position. Let's call it x_plane.

- Results: Add a 3D plot group, and add a slice plot to the plot group.

- In the slice plot: Set entry method to Coordinates and x-coordinates to x_plane.

- Results > Export: Add a Player.

- In the Player: Set Sequence type to Result Parameter, Parameter to x_plane, and enter the values that you want to vary x_plane between in the Start and Stop fields, respectively.

- Play.

Dear Mr. Andersson,

thank you very much for your answer, the animation was succesfully created!.

Best regards

Hi

check the export animation tab and related help, ay parametric sweep (incl time sweep) can be exported as an animation, from my understanding

Good luck
