I am doing structural analysis and no NVH.

I don't understand what are these 3 types of animations?

I am getting quite different results for each.

I just want the actual 1:1 animation, which option I should use?

    Linear animation for linear static analysis animation.

    Modal animation for Modal analysis anmation.

    Transient animation for Transient ,Frequency response analysis & explicit analysis animation.

    I have done Frequency response analysis, Results are varying for each animation mode.....Modal animation results are lesser than linear and transient animation mode..Why it happen?
