Alibre Design

Chapter 19 - Alibre Motion1. In Video handler, select the Codec you wish to use to generate the video (AVI)file. This drop-down list shows all the video handlers, or Codecs, that are installedand registered on your particular system. This list will vary from system to system,and some systems may not have any Codecs installed.2. The Handler description field shows the internal description of the Codec asprovided by the Codec itself.3. The Quality parameter is used by some Codecs to determine the quality of theVideo to generate. Generally, the higher the quality, the larger the file size.4. The Key-frame every field is used by some Codecs to determine how often theentire image should be stored within the generated video file. Some Codecs use aprocess whereby an initial frame (a key-frame) is stored, then each subsequentframe is stored only as the difference between that frame and the last. Thepurpose of this process is to minimize file-size.5. Click OK to close the form. If a suitable Codec, file, and parameters have beenchosen, a video will be generated while the simulation is next played. If you do notwish to create a video, or save your changes, click Cancel.19.7.3 Generating X-Y Plots from SimulationDataYou can generate X-Y Plots if you have selected Dynamic Measurements for at least oneof your moving parts or constraints.‣ To select a Dynamic Measurement:1. In the Motion Explorer, right-click on one of the moving parts or constraints, andselect Dynamic Measurement. The Dynamic Measurement dialog appears.567
