  yippee i'm able to make video in Creo But please help me out in CATIA .....

  1. Step 1

     Open 7_plate_clutch_assem in Creo
     You can Download it from
     7_plate_clutch_assem

     

  2. Step 2

     Select Applications from the Main Menu.Select Animation from the drop-down.
     

     

  3. Step 3

     The Animation Window will appear. Notice that
     there are new icons and the timeline has
     opened.

     

  4. Step 4

     From the Animation menu select Animation or
     select the Animation icon from the
     Animation toolbar.The Define Animation window opens Key-in 7_plate_clutch_assem as the name of your animation( by clicking on edit )

     

  5. Step 5

     From the Animation menu select Body
     Definition or select the Body Definition icon
     from the Animation toolbar.The Bodies window appears

     

  6. Step 6

     Select the One Part per Body option

     

  7. Step 7

     Select Ground
     Select Edit
     The Ground Body is similar to the base
     component in an assembly. The animation is
     focused around this component

     

  8. Step 8

     The Body Definition window appears
     You are prompted to Select one or more items Select the driving shaft (or any other component), click OK in the Select
     window
     Select OK in the Body Definition window. You
     will notice that the number of parts now
     indicates that there is one part in the ground
     body.

     

  9. Step 9

     The Bodies window will appear; click on the
     Ground body to make sure that the
     Body is selected. Select each of the remaining parts and edit them, simply change the names to better
     identify the parts.

  10. Step 10

      You will now begin creating a series of
      snapshots to build a Key Frame sequence
      Key Frames are used to define the animation
      sequence
      For this animation you will create a single Key
      Frame sequence with multiple snapshots that
      will be used at predetermined time intervals to
      create the animation.
      As you create Key Frames and other portions of
      the animation the Timeline will begin to fill up.

      

  11. Step 11

      From the Animation menu select Key Frame
      Sequence or select the Key Frame
      Sequence icon from the Animation
      toolbar .The Key Frame Sequence window appears.Make sure that Ground is listed as the
      Reference Body

      

  12. Step 12

      Select the Camera icon to indicate that you
      want to take a snapshot
      The Drag window and a Select window will
      appear

      

  13. Step 13

      The Drag window and a Select window will
      appear.Click on Snapshots as indicated, this will open
      another window

      

  14. Step 14

      I'm uploading one more snap for clarification.

      

  15. Step 15

      Click on Advanced Drag Options as indicated,
      this will expand the Drag window to provide
      you access to the necessary controls
      Now you will be able to begin making snapshots
      for your Key Frame sequence.The first snapshot should be of the completed
      assembly

      

  16. Step 16

      With the assembly displayed in the assembly
      window as shown
      Select the Camera icon this can be thought
      of as the snapshot icon. This is not the same
      icon as the one that appears in the Key
      Frame Sequence window
      Snapshot 1 appears on the Snapshot list
      Notice that KFS1.1 appears on the Timeline
      This is Key Frame Sequence 1 and shows
      that there is one snapshot in the sequence
      You are ready for the second snapshot

  17. Step 17

      For the second snapshot the hex screw (any part of your choice) will be
      removed from the assembly.

      Before making the second snapshot, click the Z
      axis in Advanced Drag Options. This will
      allow you to move the part in a straight
      Z direction (or any direction)
      Notice the Drag Axes located on the assembly.
      Use these to assist in dragging parts before
      making snapshots.

      

  18. Step 18

      Select the Camera icon.Snapshot 2 appears on the Snapshot list and in the Timeline as part of KFS1
      here shell was removed

      

  19. Step 19

      Similarly one by one all the parts are removed and snapshot (by clicking on the camera and then OK)
      is taken until all the parts are removed.

      

  20. Step 20

      one more for clarification.....

      

  21. Step 21

      If you have joints , you can also simulate the mechanism and display it in your animation by adding constraints.

      

  22. Step 22

      If you have followed all steps mentioned above you can check your animation by clicking on start animation & if you are satisfied you can move on.

      

  23. Step 23

      then click on playback to capture your animation as a video file in specified format & at location you want to save.

      

  24. Step 24

      one more for clarification .........
