SMS:Film Loop Time Step Options

The Time Options dialog is used to specify the time range and time step to use in the animation. It is the second step of the Film Loop Setup wizard when exporting the following film loop types:

• Transient Data Animation
• Flow Trace - if using transient data
• Drogue Plot - if using transient data

The following time options are available:

• Film loop start time
• Film loop duration
• Number of Frames or Time Step Size

If the Time Settings are set to display as Relative Time, the zero time can be changed. If exporting to a KMZ file, the time zone can also be specified. Specifying the time zone is required if the model time is in a local time zone (as opposed to UTC) for Google Earth to display the correct times for the associated temporal data.
