Hello,
I have a complex CAD model that was animated in Creo Parametric. The model has 11 servo motors and 100s (or 1,000s) of parts.
I have embedded the animation into a Creo Illustrate sequence as per
and the sequence plays fine in Illustrate.
However, I cannot get this sequence to play in Vuforia Studio.
Is this possible? TIA

Hi @TR_8485914 ,
as described in CS266394 (as @VladimirN pointed to) it should generally work. So regarding this technique
we have to use .fra file. So you can from Mechanism design export the fra file
and create the animation in Creo Illustrate (create first figure type animation and import then animation file (fra))
So the animation created from the fra file is a movement split to many singe transformations which will make this complex to handle within Studio when we follow the workaround first to add to a single step as mentioned in the CS266394 . Possibly there could occurs an issue when when you copy the time frame.
So my suggestions is to split the animation in Creo so that you should not use to many frames in that animation . Let say you have animation over 10 secs. And it contains some actions which is repeated - possibly you can use an one fra for smaller time frame or you have to create different fra files - and create animations which are in different steps . ( split the animation - whole animation is not in the same step)
Another point to reduce the timeframes in Mechanism as shown in the picture e.g. in the picture form 101 to e.g. 30
This will reduce the number of transformation in the Creo Illustrate key frame
So you can simplify you animation (via simplifying of the fra file respectively the studio steps) and so possibly make it more robust the animation that it could work in Studio. Here I attached a demo project which used a mechanism animation as general proof that it should work in Studio
