Hello,
I'm plotting the mode shape of a cantilevered beam. But when I animate it, the fixed end is moving.
Is anyone else having this problem?
See the attached project folder zipped, and my mpeg video showing the problem.

Does anyone know how to fix this?
I'm using .001 scale when animating.

I'm running on windows 7.

I think there is "freeze scaling" buttom that makes the coordinate system fixed. -Peter

The above poster is correct. The freeze scaling anchors the coordinate system so the zero displacement location stops wagging.
See the attached screen capture showing where the freeze scaling button is in the gui.
