begin_simtime

anim_flipbook.begin_simtime(p0: float) → int

Specify a beginning simulation time value to start the flipbook animation.

Not applicable if dataset is not transient.

Used only if “anim_flipbook: specify_time_as simulation” has been specified.

Args:

p0:

‘time_value’ beginning simulation time value (which must correspond to the same simulation time at a time step)

Examples:

#
# Specify a transient_data flipbook 
#
ensight.anim_flipbook.load_type("transient_data")
#
# Set begin/end solution timestep values
#
ensight.solution_time.show_as("time")
#
# Set begin/end flipbook time info
#
ensight.anim_flipbook.step_simtime(1.0000e+00)
ensight.anim_flipbook.specify_time_as("simulation")
ensight.anim_flipbook.begin_simtime(3.4900e+02)
ensight.anim_flipbook.end_simtime(3.6900e+02)
#
# Load flipbook
#
ensight.anim_flipbook.load()
#
# Run loaded flipbook
#
ensight.anim_flipbook.run_type("auto")

Returns:

zero on success, non-zero on error
