CST2013: Animate Parameter

Home: Edit ParametersAnimate Parameter
Parameter List: <parameter name>Animate Parameter

This dialog rebuilds the structure by changing the value of a specific parameter. The user defines a start value, an end value and the number of steps. The number of steps defines the number of rebuilds. Start value defines the parameter's value for the first rebuild and end value defines the value for the last one. The remaining number of steps will be arranged between start and end value. If there is a parameter value that leads to an error, a message is shown at the end of the animation.
