Products and versions covered

The traces flow without a problem in Autodesk CFD but when animated, they typically show no movement, have very rapid movement, or freeze.

A trace is taking too long or too quickly to pass through the domain causing the others to appear instantly relative to the these traces.

Edit the Trace
Sort by Residency time
Delete any residency time that is not within an order of magnitude of the majority of the traces

For Example: Majority of the traces have a residency time of around 1e-1. However there are some traces that are 1 second and some are 1e-2 seconds. Delete the 1 second and 1e-2 second traces.
All the traces will have the same relative time and will animate smoothly.
