To add an animation to a patient, for example, you can go to PCIs, then open Patient Visuals. Then right click on the specific patient you'd like to add an animation to and select Animations. Then use the Animation Editor to add a custom animation. Here are some links that will give you some principles on creating animations:

• Animation Creator Key Concepts
• The Animation Creator Interface
• Tutorial-Basic Animation Creator Concepts
• Tutorial-Advanced Animation Creator Concepts

Although these tutorials were created for the general FlexSim software, the animation creator functions virtually the same. You can then call these animations in the model. One way is with a trigger under Advanced Functions in a patient activity. In the Trigger Editor add a new trigger instruction under Start->animation. You can then enter the name of the new animation you created.
