Animating an object from external simulation data (i.e. scientific visualization)

Hi,

I have similar problem for my project as you mentioned years ago on this post!

Animating an object from external simulation data (i.e. scientific visualization)

You could do this in 3 ways that I know of: If the animation is object-specific, bake the animation data on the object using animation software. Should give you great performance with the added features of Persona. Might take longer to do. If you’ve got this stored in a CSV file, you can import it into a ‘Data Table’](Data Driven Gameplay Elements in Unreal Engine | Unreal Engine 5.1 Documentation). It should be fairly straightforward to read from it and drive the object transform (Highly reco…

I am using the *“Runtime DataTable” plugin and i have managed to import my actors in the correct position. I use the “ForEachLoopperTick” macro as you mentioned and my actor make the animation but not in the correct time. Meaning that i have not managed to match the Game time (Tick) and the time (from the corresponding column) of my csv (the csv has been raised from a traffic simulation ).

So can i managed to match the csv simulation time with the unreal game time? Have you managed it?
