PostProcessorIcepak.plot_animated_field(quantity, assignment, plot_type='Surface', setup=None, intrinsics=None, variation_variable='Phi', variations=None, view='isometric', show=True, scale_min=None, scale_max=None, plot_cad_objs=True, log_scale=True, zoom=None, export_gif=False, export_path='', force_opacity_value=0.1, dark_mode=False, show_grid=False, show_bounding=False, show_legend=True, filter_objects=None)

Create an animated field plot using Python PyVista and export to a gif file.

Note

The PyVista module rebuilds the mesh and the overlap fields on the mesh.

Parameters:

quantitystr

Quantity to plot (for example, "Mag_E").

assignmentlist, str

One or more objects or faces to apply the field plot to.

plot_typestr, optional

Plot type. The default is Surface. Options are "CutPlane", "Surface", and "Volume".

setupstr, optional

Setup and sweep name on which create the field plot. Default is None for nominal setup usage.

intrinsicsdict, str, optional

Intrinsic variables required to compute the field before the export. These are typically: frequency, time and phase. It can be provided either as a dictionary or as a string. If it is a dictionary, keys depend on the solution type and can be expressed as: - "Freq" or "Frequency" - "Time" - "Phase"

If it is a string, it can either be "Freq" or "Time" depending on the solution type. The default is None in which case the intrinsics value is automatically computed based on the setup.

variation_variablestr, optional

Variable to vary. The default is "Phi".

variationslist, optional

List of variation values with units. The default is ["0deg"].

viewstr, optional

View to export. Options are "isometric", "xy", "xz", "yz".

showbool, optional

Export Image without plotting on UI.

scale_minfloat, optional

Fix the Scale Minimum value.

scale_maxfloat, optional

Fix the Scale Maximum value.

plot_cad_objsbool, optional

Whether to include objects in the plot. The default is True.

log_scalebool, optional

Whether to plot fields in log scale. The default is True.

zoomfloat, optional

Zoom factor.

export_gifbool, optional

Whether to export an animated gif or not. The default is False.

export_pathstr, optional

Image export path. Default is None to not working_directory will be used to save the image.

force_opacity_valuefloat, optional

Opacity value between 0 and 1 to be applied to all model. If None aedt opacity will be applied to each object.

dark_modebool, optional

Whether to display the model in dark mode or not. The default is False.

show_gridbool, optional

Whether to display the axes grid or not. The default is False.

show_boundingbool, optional

Whether to display the axes bounding box or not. The default is False.

show_legendbool, optional

Whether to display the legend or not. The default is True.

filter_objectslist, optional

Objects list for filtering the CutPlane plots. The default is None in which case an empty list is passed.

Returns:

ansys.aedt.core.generic.plot.ModelPlotter

Model Object.
