Display mode shapes

[Ameri]

Hi there,

I am using the following recorder to capture one of the mode shapes of my model. The problem is that the sketch becomes invisible in a blank of an eye, so that I cannot see the picture even for a second! Could anybody tell me please how I can hold the image? And thanks a lot in advance.

recorder display "Mode Shape" 10 500 500 500 -wipe
prp 10 10 1;
vup 0 1 0;
vpn 0 0 1;
viewWindow -250 250 -250 250
display -1 10 20

You can use the Tcl command "after". Place it following the display command.

Example:

recorder display "Mode Shape" 10 500 500 500 -wipe
prp 10 10 1;
vup 0 1 0;
vpn 0 0 1;
viewWindow -250 250 -250 250
display -1 10 20
after 5000; # pause for 5 seconds
