Thank you for your feedback
To animate results directly in the Map, you must first have a completed 2D or 1D-2D linked simulation.
Animations can be recorded, and snapshots taken to further enhance your reports and future investigations.
Note:
The first time you record a video, you will need to manually select a codec (from those available on your machine) within the Application Settings.
Steps
Load the 2D time series initially (see How to load 2D results).
Tip:
You may also want to set up the view beforehand, for example, add base maps, add WFS/WMS layers that are of interest, or add a colour ramp.
In the Layers panel, right-click the variable of interest and select Animate. Animation controls will then appear at the top of the Map view.
Within the animation controls, click to Play, Stop, Step backward/forward, and Record the animation as needed. You can also right-click anywhere within the Map view to open a menu from which you can navigate to Save Snapshot to save the current screen view as a geo-image or send to Google Earth.
Note:
Ensure you always close out of the animation controls when finished, as failing to do so may adversely affect functionality as you continue to work within the interface.
