    In the 12.0 'run' panel, please select 'Linear' for the 'Sim Type'.

     

    In addition, you will need to add the following .xml command template:

     

    <H3DOutput

        linear_animation = 'True'   

    />

     

    This command will create an animation for all the modes in the .h3d file.

     

    For more information about creating .xml templates, please see the tutorial MV-1051.

     

    For more information regarding .xml commands, model statements, functions, and user written subroutines please review the .xml reference guide:

     

    help->HyperWorks Home Help->Reference Guides-> MotionSolve

     

    MotionSolve uses a .xml formatted input file that is generated by MotionView.

     

    Hope this helps
