11ANIMATIONS, SIMULATIONS, AND THE TIME LOOP
The same way vector images visualize static problems, animations help us build visual intuition for dynamic problems. A single image can show us only how things are at a specific point in time. When the properties of a system change over time, we’ll need an animation to get the complete story.
Much like a static analysis presents a system in a moment, a simulation presents the evolution of a system over time. Animations are a good way of presenting the results of this evolution. There are two good reasons for engineers to simulate dynamic systems: it’s a great exercise to solidify your understanding ...
