For object-based animations you can display or suppress animation frame count information, which is displayed in the upper-right corner of the viewport and consists of
the scale factor of each image in your scale factor animation,
the phase angle of each image in your harmonic animation, or
the step and frame (plot number within the step) of each image contained in your time history animation.
You cannot customize the content or appearance of the counter, other than to turn it off entirely.
The step and increment associated with each animation step and frame are given by the state block. All of the images in a scale factor animation are based on a single step and frame. For more information on customizing the state block, see “Customizing the state block,” Section 37.3.
To show the animation frame counter:
Find the Show frame counter option.
In the prompt area, click Animation Options; and click the Player tab in the dialog box that appears. The Show frame counter option is near the bottom of the page.
Toggle Show frame counter to display or suppress animation frame count information.
Click Apply to implement your changes.
The animation in all animated viewports changes according to your specifications. When Show frame counter is on, ABAQUS/CAE displays status information in the upper right corner of all animated viewports. This information is updated for every image in your animation sequence. You may need to stop playback to read it.
Your changes are saved for the duration of the session and will affect all subsequent plots in this state.
