Animation Main menus Applications/Animation New screen with animation icons on the right. Body definition in animation…(3nd icon) Ground (Part01) body1 (Part02) body2 (Part03) Click on them to see if the parts are highlighted Close Drag model and create snapshots…(4th icon) - drag the part02 and move it 90 degrees (click w left mouse button, doubleclick to release at the desired position) - take a snapshot “Snapshot1”appears in the “Drag” GUI - drag part02 in the initial position, take “Snapshot2” - drag part02 another 90 degrees (opposite snapshot1); take “Snapshot3” Close MB, Hinge AnimationTutorial, ProE_2001

Animation

Create new keyframe sequence… (5th icon) Name it “Rotation” In the snapshot window, drop-down menu to select “Snapshot1…2…” Snapshot 1, Time 0.00, “+” Snapshot 2, Time 2.00, “+” Snapshot 3, Time 4.00, “+” OK Start the animation…(3rd to last icon) STOP it at the end of 4 seconds time interval Playback (2nd to last icon) Animate GUI. See if the total no of frames is 40. If no repeat the previous step. Capture/ Name of file, Type(.mpeg, .jpeg) Works better with a white background (View/Display Settings/System Colors/ (background-white)

PRACTICE !!! Do not forget the ProeE requirements for project reports given in Part 1 of the tutorial MB, Hinge AnimationTutorial, ProE_2001
