Anyone have good solutions for animating a simulated liquid flow from origin to end through a plumbing schematic? I need this ability to wow an internal customer.
The attached story is a pretty bad animation but maybe it will inspire someone else to do better.
I inserted a pipe shape png (made in powerpoint) with a white background and set the pipes themselves to transparent color. Then I animated in a rectangle behind it.
A while ago I worked on 8 courses dealing with brewery CIP cleaning techniques - using schematics for the whole CIP process.
It was all built using the PowerPoint animation features, such as "Line colour" and then the whole thing saved as a video and imported into Presenter. Here's an image....
All the coloured elements change (blue to green to yellow/detergent etc.), sprays spray, pumps pump, vessels empty and fill, and valves open (green) and close (red).

Possibly the best way to do this.
