Hello Community,

Taking advantage of a subject commented by @RoKet in another question here in the Community, I would like to announce a new capability available in the newest Activate's release (v2021.1), that is the visualization capability of 3D's animation using Modelica multibody library.

Now, it is possible to analyze how the dynamic system is behaving during your modeling, besides that, it is a powerful tool to debug a system, if necessary.

In order to use this capability, the user has to access: Simulation parameters > Results > Animation

Besides that, it is necessary to set animation's parameters on each physical block which will be visualized:

Using an Activate's tutorial model (SpringDamperSystem.scm) we will have this below:

Hope it helps you in your modeling. :)

Thanks, João.
