load_type

anim_flipbook.load_type(p0: str) → int

Specifies the type of flipbook animation to load.

Args:

p0:

‘option’ transient_data

p1:

‘option’ mode_shapes

p2:

‘option’ create_data

p3:

‘option’ linear_load

Examples:

#
# Example of <transient_data>
#
# Note: transient dataset w/83 time steps...
#
# Specify a transient_data flipbook 
#
ensight.anim_flipbook.load_type("transient_data")
#
# Specify page increment
#
ensight.anim_flipbook.step_by(1.0000e+01)
#
# Set begin/end flipbook time info
#
ensight.anim_flipbook.begin_time_step(0)
ensight.anim_flipbook.end_time_step(83)
ensight.anim_flipbook.specify_time_as("step")
#
# Load flipbook pages {0,10,20,30,40,50,60,70,80}
#
ensight.anim_flipbook.load()
#
# Run loaded flipbook
#
ensight.anim_flipbook.run_type("auto")

#
# Example of <create_data>
#
# (Note: A clip part has already been generated via the
#        XYZ clip part feature and colored by a variable.)
#
# Update the 2D clip part clip at 
#
ensight.part.select_begin(2)
ensight.part.modify_begin()
ensight.clip.mesh_plane("X")
ensight.clip.tool("xyz")
ensight.clip.value(1.000000)
ensight.part.modify_end()
#
# Specify type of flipbook
#
ensight.anim_flipbook.load_type("create_data")
#
# Setup interactive flipbooking of the clip part
#
ensight.anim_flipbook.interactive_part("start")
ensight.part.select_begin(2)
ensight.part.modify_begin()
ensight.clip.value(3.000000)
ensight.part.modify_end()
ensight.anim_flipbook.dynamic_value(2,1.000000,3.000000)
ensight.anim_flipbook.interactive_part("stop")
#
# Load 10 flipbook pages
#
ensight.anim_flipbook.number_to_create(10)
ensight.anim_flipbook.load()
#
# Run loaded flipbook pages
#
ensight.anim_flipbook.run_type("auto")

#
# Example of <mode_shapes>
#
# Note:  Prior to animating modes shapes ... activate and 
#        displace displacement vector variable on selected parts.
# 
ensight.variables.activate("3D_Displacement")
ensight.part.select_all()
ensight.part.modify_begin()
ensight.part.displace_by("3D_Displacement")
ensight.part.modify_end()
#
#
#
ensight.anim_flipbook.load_type("mode_shapes")
ensight.anim_flipbook.number_to_create(10)
ensight.anim_flipbook.load()
ensight.anim_flipbook.run_type("auto")

#
# Followed by example of <linear_load>
#
# Delete current flipbook
#
ensight.anim_flipbook.delete_all_pages()
#
# Load and run 10 linear_load flipbook pages
#
ensight.anim_flipbook.load_type("linear_load")
ensight.anim_flipbook.number_to_create(10)
ensight.anim_flipbook.load()
ensight.anim_flipbook.run_type("auto")

Returns:

zero on success, non-zero on error
