ani

for

Turns the animation on in the forward direction.

Data type: string

bac

Turns the animation on in the backward direction.

Data type: string

next

If the model is not animating, the current simulation is set to the next simulation. If the model is animating, then the effect of this command is not visible. If this command is given when the model is at the last step, the message "Last Simulation reached" is displayed.

Data type: string

prev

If the model is not animating, the current simulation is set to the previous simulation. If the model is animating, then the effect of this command is not visible. If this command is given when the model is at the first step, the message "First Simulation reached" is displayed.

Data type: string

first

If the model is not animating, the current simulation is set to the first simulation. If the model is animating, the effect is not visible.

Data type: string

last

If the model is not animating, the current simulation is set to the last simulation. If the model is animating, the effect is not visible.

Data type: string

fab

The animation is turned on in bouncing mode.

Data type: string

off

The animation is turned off.

Data type: string

step <step no.>

The current simulation step is set to the specified <step no.>. If the step number is not in the range of total number of simulation steps, then an error message is displayed. The step number is from 1 to n (n being the last simulation step).

Data type: string, int

The following example turns the animation on in the forward direction. It will work only if the results are loaded in the active window of the application.
