Main Page > Technical Documentation > Animation

Once the simulation run has been successfully completed, press the “Animation” button on the toolbar (see Figure below).



This will load the animation window, which will display the network (see Figure below).





Animation Playback Controls The animation controls (see Figure below) are contained in a toolbar at the top of the screen. These controls are used to start, stop, and pause the traffic simulation animation.



Start/Pause/Stop To start the animation, press. Once the animation has started, you can pause it by pressing the same button (it will display the pause icon ). To stop the animation before the simulation duration is reached, press ).

Forward/Reverse To change the direction of the animation (i.e., increasing or decreasing simulation time), press the forward/reverse buttons (/), which will toggle.

Animation Speed The animation speed can also be changed from 0.1X to 10X, using the ‘+’ and ‘-’ minus buttons, or the dropdown box. To use the latter, the animation must first be paused.

Animation Speed This field displays the current simulation time. To go directly to a specific time in the simulation, pause the simulation, click directly on the time value (it will change to an edit box), type in the desired simulation time, and press ‘Enter’. When you resume the playback, it will start from the entered time.
