Running the animated model

There is more than one animation method that you can use.

About this task

When running the animated model, you can use any of these animation methods:

• Run an executable application on the same machine as Rhapsody® (see Running the application on the host).
• Run an executable application on a different machine than Rhapsody (see Running the animated code on a remote target).
• Test a library built with Rhapsody with a GUI built outside of Rhapsody (see Testing libraries).

For all these animation methods, the process follows these steps:

1. The application auto-connects to the product to run the animation.
2. The message "Initializing animation..." is displayed.
3. An operating system window opens to display console output from the application. You can minimize this window, if wanted.
4. The Animation toolbar displays.
