When using an Adams FMU in your simulation, the Adams Real Time Animation component allows you to visualize the model on-line with your simulation.
Currently the Real Time Animation component is supported at particular Linux platforms, see section Adams Real Time Animation requirements. The component visualizes the moving geometry of your model during your real time simulation from any platform that can connect to a platform having an Adams installation with the Real Time component available.

Two options are possible:

■Simulation and animation at the same (linux) platform. When the hostname is set to 'localhost' the animation will be started by Adams Solver during the initialization, see Simulation and Animation on the same platform.
■Animation at a different platform as used for the simulation. In this case the Real Time Animation component needs to be started manually before the simulation, see Starting the Real Time Animation component.
The Real Time Animation will run in combination with an FMU. Before generating, you model simulation files and the FMU you need to switch 'On' the Real Time Animation setting. Then the model will be extended with the animation interface routine and the FMU will be extended with the model data required for the animation. Once the FMU has been created, running the FMU, for example in an Adams parent-child simulation or at Simulation Workbench will not be different.
