How to export Altair SimSolid animations
With our latest release, Altair SimSolid can now export deformation or mode shape animations into a H.264 encoded MP4 file. To export an animation, right mouse button select any animation bookmark (those with a triangle in the upper left corner) and choose the "Save to a file" menu item.
Note that file will be encoded during export. Any window overlaid in the graphics window will be included in the animation. This is done so that it is easy to include additional information (for example an analysis summary dialog) in the animation file.
