Help for my first animation / simulation in OCCT

[bioan]

Hello everyone!

I try to implement my first simulation inside OCCT and need some basic help / ideas how to start.
I have an array of points and like to move a simple cylinder (the center of it) between the points using a particular speed.
Also I like to be able to pause the simulation or to move forward (next) or back (previous cut).
I took a look at the example from OCCT documentation using AIS_AnimationTimer, without success, I seem to miss the basics of how to use an animation in general and in particular inside OCCT.

So any ideas how to start step by step are more than welcome!
Ioan

Not that I ever used animation in OpenCascade (maybe @natalia will find a bit of time to jump in here), but I saw this MFC sample with rotating propeller in OpenCascade. Have you also checked it?

@bioan, I see you are already supported on OCCT official forum, have you tried the recommendations given there? Did it work for you? We would appreciate your feedback on that.

Hi JSlyadne! I'm trying to understand all the process steps, which probably will take time.
