Time domain animation is available only for FDTD simulations of "Analysis" type. It cannot be used in conjunction with sweep simulations. Once the FDTD Analysis is finished, you can click any of the field plots and visualize it in the main window or you can animate them by right clicking on the field sensor's name in the Navigation Tree and selecting '''Animation''' from the contextual menu. You can change the animation settings from the '''Animation Controls Dialog'''. Note that the animation loop repeats itself indefinitely until you close the Animation Controls dialog or hit the keyboardâs '''Esc Key'''.
