Solution:
Yes you can.
DYNAanimation supports most of the installed video codecs.
We prefere to use the free video codec XVid. There is a detailed description in the DYNAanimation user manual. |

Solution:
Be sure that the latest driver of your graphics adapter is installed. Mostly the latest driver can be loaded from the web site of the graphics card manufacturer (eg. ATI, Intel or NVIDIA).
The selection of a graphics card for DYNAanimation largely depends on the requirements of the specific application scenario.
TESIS DYNAware does not guarantee that DYNAanimation will run on computers with onboard graphic adapters or notebooks.
The reasons are:
• The specialized onboard graphics processing units often behave differently from high-end graphics cards.
• DYNAanimation has very high requirements with regard to graphic performance. The notebook must be equipped with OpenGL hardware acceleration and at least 32 MB of texture memory.
• Even if the technical specifications of these processing units match the formal requirements (OpenGL hardware acceleration, 32 MB RAM), drivers are often not stable enough to satisfy the requirements of CADlike applications.

Solution:
Yes you can.
For example to use DYNAanimation demo models with dSPACE realtime boards follow the next steps.
1.) Download and unzip this file to your current DYNAanimation work directory.
2.) Set simulation parameter block reduction to off.
Go to menu "Simulation" in Simulink and select the option Simulation Parameters.
You could also use the key code CTRL+E. Select Block reduction and set radio button off.
3.) Set solver type under simulation parameters to "fixed step".
4.) Copy Make-Files v4_engine_usr.mk and single_track_model_usr.mk to your current work directory.
5.) Select target platform (e.g. DS1005).
Select sub-menu "Options" in menu "Tools | Real-Time Workshop" in Simulink.
Click "Browse" and select the file rti1005.tlc in the corresponding
directory. A precondition of this is that the dSPACE software (RTI or RTI MP) is installed.
6.) Start build process.
Select submenu "Options" in menu "Tools | Real-Time Workshop" in Simulink.
Activate Build. Alternatively press CTRL+B.
7.) Connect DYNAanimation to dSPACE realtime board.
In DYNAanimation change the source of simulation platform over the drop-down field at the left-bottom corner for example to "Extern ds1005".
Activate the button "Connect to signal data" from DYNAanimation control bar to receive simulation data.

Solution:
Yes.
DYNAanimation supports two main product version. The DYNAanimation Viewer and Editor.
The free entry version DYNAanimation Viewer allows visualising Simulink simulation results using the supplied animation settings. Moreover, you can load and play existing scenes and results from other DYNAanimation runs.
With the full version DYNAanimation Editor you can create individual sceneries. You can also manipulate your model interactively via the game controller. Or make use of remote control via the ActiveX interface.

Solution:
In this case a wrong license_dynaware.ini file is configured.
You can set up this file under "File->Settings->Change license file". |

|
Solution:
DYNAanimation is realized as ActiveX control.
Therby it is possible to integrate DYNAanimation in different simulation tools.
If this error happens DYNAanimation is not full registered in Windows. It will registered by the installation process.
To fix this you can register it manual.
1.) Open the DOS command window.
2.) Change to your product installation directory for example
[your-DYNAwareR33-directory]\DYNAanimation\bin
3.) execute regsvr32 DYNAanimationCOM.dll.

Solution:
Yes you can.
DYNAanimation supports AvtiveX for remote control. |
|
|
|
Solution:
DYNAanimtion supports VRML 2.0. Most CAD or 3D tools can export 3D objects for this format. |
|
|
|
Solution:
Be sure that the latest driver of your graphics adapter is installed.
Mostly the latest driver can be loaded from the web site of the graphics card manufacturer (eg. ATI, Intel or NVIDIA).
Be sure that DirectX 9 or higher is installed. |
|
|
|
Solution:
Yes you can.
DYNAanimation supports a feature to see the animation in two or more screens. The limit are the connected screens to the PC. |

|
Solution:
Yes you can.
DYNAanimation supports ActiveX for remote control.
Following sample shows how to generate a video per remote:
% start DYNAanimation
actx = am_start(1);
% load result file
actx.LoadResults('[your work directory]\data\animation\results\demo.dar');
% get video compression list (codec) list
actx.GetVideoCompressionList();
% returns all installed codecs for example:
'Cinepak Codec by Radius'
'Intel 4:2:0 Video V2.50'
'Intel Indeo(R) Video R3.2'
'Intel Indeo® Video 4.5'
'Indeo® video 5.10'
'Intel IYUV Codec'
'Microsoft H.261 Video Codec'
'Microsoft H.263 Video Codec'
'Microsoft RLE'
'Microsoft Video 1'
'XviD MPEG-4 Codec'
% save AVI
% use XviD MPEG-4 Codec shown by video compression list
actx.SaveAvi('[your work directory]\data\animation\results\demo.avi', 'XviD MPEG-4 Codec', 0); |
