Parametric model animation

Parametric model animation

Hello,

 

Recently I was refreshing 20 years old picture showing the schematic of Magnetic Shape Memory effect and ended up with this

The single crystal of Ni-Mn-Ga alloy changes its crystallographic lattice orientation due to magnetic field application.

 

Basically I've created macroscopic model of the twinning structure of a crystal using Sketch constrains and by changing 2 parameters (twin-variants rate and arrow length) I've got 58 frames combined later into an animation.

But it took me like 2 hours to send all images to render: Fusion360 crashed 2 times, also I had to restart it about 10 times since GUI was disappearing while switching from Model to Render and back...

 

So it would be perfect if there will be an implemented feature to create animation and/or motion study based on incremental change of User Parameter(s). 

 

Possible area of application: smart and adaptive materials implementation in (electro-)mechanical devices models.
