This window lets you create an animation of the current Results View, where the limits can be fixed along the animation with Automatic Limits, and/or an animation of the Deformation of the meshes. To the right of the Step: label, the step value is shown. On the slide bar, the step number is shown.

Note: To avoid problems when trying to view an MPEG format animation in Microsoft Windows , it is strongly recommended that you use the Default menu to select a 'standard' size and press the Resize button. The graphical window will change to this 'standard' size. After finishing the animation, simply select Default on the menu and press the Resize button, and the previous size will be restored.
Note: AVI MS Video 1 uses a simple video compression algorithm, commonly supported by all video players.
