Hi,

I'm running a co-simulation with Adams, and my simulations have typically around 1.3 million particles, and 15s simulation time. Sometimes I'd like to make a video of my simulation with a frequency of 0.1s, however this takes approximately 2 hours. Is there any way to speed up this process? My exporting video settings look like this:

    Hi GertJan,

     

    Setting the frame width and height to the screen (green circular arrow) tends to make the video creation fastest.  The compressor and file format possibly do make some slight difference (these are local to your PC, EDEM picks up what is installed) however I'd expect a lot of time is read/write from the local hard drive.  A SSD and/or ensuring you are creating the video locally rather than reading over a network may help.

    Regards

    Stephen
