Animate plots

Hi guys.

Seeing how fast I got great and helpful answers yesterday, I thought I might ask another rather silly question. I am trying to animate a plot, and I have never done it before.

I have made a simple sheet ploting V,M for a rectangular simply supported beam with uniformly distributed load. I have also plotted sigma and tau for the section, as well as Von Mises.

I have tried to make 3D plots to show how stresses evovle through the length of the beam, and to some extent it illustrates that.

I have also tried to animate a 2D plot, to work like a cross section that moves along the length of the beam, but I cannot figure out how to make it work.

Any ideas where it went wrong for me?

Also; is it possible to plot stresses along y-axis as opposed to x-axis?

Thanks again :d

1. Yes as discrete format ... augment(y,x) in reverse order.
2. surface 3D does not save settings. Plot f,g,j
not you had plot f(x,y) ...
3. can't doctor the last plot ... proved otherwise.

Thanks Jean!

I will try to plot about y-axis with the augment function.
Surface 3D not saving settings explains a lot! I think I tried to save those settings at least 10 times before giving up.

I will try to understand how plot animations work, and come back with a animated plot of my stresses..

Best regards,
Hans Kristian.

Well, I got the animations to work. I guess the mistake was to try to animate on a variable named 't'.

With a bit more tinkering I should be able to plot my stresses about y-y axis as well.

Best regards,
Hans Kristian

I find it somewhat funny my simple stress visualization sheet was something you deemed worthy of saving on your harddrive.

Thanks,

It carries units so nicely, not usual vs so many projects
that fail [Units don't match].
The attach breakfast with chicken rather than eggs.
At least, my small laptop does not smoke.

Mine actually managed this sheet in 1.2 minutes.. :d
