Welcome
This is a document to explains the chosen concept to the
animator.
2
This will take you through a 5 section process to provide the
necessary details to the animator before starting the animation.

The legend on the left will indicate the current status of the
document. The big Black coloured number will denote the current
section, the Grey color would denote the completed sections,
and the Turquoise color would denote the remaining sections.

Make a schematic diagram of the concept
Explain the animator about the beginning and ending of the
process.
Draw image big enough for explaining.
In the image, identify and label different components of the
process/phenomenon. (These are like characters in a film)
Illustrate the basic flow of action by using arrows. Use BOLD
lines in the diagram (minimum 2pts.)
In the slide after that, provide the definitions of ALL the labels
used in the diagram
You may have multiple master layouts.
• In this case, number the master layout.
(e.g. Master layout 1, 2, 3…)

Definitions and Keywords
1 Tube side inlet nozzle: Process fluid enters through this nozzle
2 Tubes: Process fluid (blue) flows through these
2
3 Tube side outlet nozzle: Process fluid exits through this nozzle
4 Shell: Houses the tubes and other accessories
5 Shell side inlet nozzle: Heating/cooling fluid enters through this nozzle
3
6 Baffles: Pose resistance to the flow of the shell side fluid (red) thus, increasing
heat transfer
7 Tie rods: Keep the baffles in position
4
8 Shell side outlet nozzle: Heating/cooling fluid exits through this nozzle
9 Tube channels: Compartments for tube side fluid at inlet and outlet
10 Tube sheets: Support the tubes on either end and prevent the mixing of tube side
fluid with that of the shell side

In this step, use an example to explain the concept. It
can be an analogy, a scenario, or an action which
explains this concept/process/topic
Try to use examples from day-to-day life to make it
more clear
You have to describe what steps the animator should
take to make your concept come alive as a series of
moving images.
Keep the examples simple to understand, and also to
illustrate/animate.

Analogy / Scenario / Action
Analogy:
1 Imagine a pipe in which I stack 5 straws (pipe is shell & straws are tubes)
2 I cut two thermocol rounds with diameter matching the inside diameter of
the pipe. These rounds have holes through which the straws can slide from
one round to the other (tube sheets). Also assume that the straws and these
holes make a leak proof joint.
3 Some 3/4th cut discs with diameter just enough to slide through the pipe
and having holes matching the straws are introduced (baffles).
4 Between two discs a thin rod or rigid wire is tied to keep the discs in
position (tie rod)
5 The straws are now introduced one by one from one thermocol round
passing through these discs to the other thermocol.
6 The gap between the thermocol rounds and the pipe is sealed.
7 Suppose I have inlet and outlet connections on this pipe side ways (shell
side nozzles) through which any liquid like cold water can be introduced.
8 On either sides of the pipe imagine having pipe cut pieces with one end
closed (tube channels). These are sealed with the pipe.
9 These pipe cuts also have side connections like pipe (tube side nozzles)
through which hot water can be introduced.
10 If both hot and cold waters are circulated through the straw side and the
pipe side, the hot fluid coming out of the other side of the straw end will be
cooler and vice versa.
11 This is visualizing a shell & tube heat exchanger

The goal of the document is to provide instructions to an
animator who is not a expert.
You have to describe what steps the animator should take to
make your concept come alive as a moving visualization.
Use one slide per step. This will ensure clarity of the
explanation.
Add a image of the step in the box, and the details in the table
below the box.
You can use any images for reference, but mention about it's
copyright status

The animator will have to re-draw / re-create the drawings

Add more slides as per the requirement of the animation

Use ‘callouts’ as shown above to explain the source of
content. Ex: If the call out is placed at the Tab 01,
and you want the content to be taken from slide 3 of
this presentation, then place this callout on the Tab
01, and write ‘Slide 3’ inside the callout.

In this section, you will add the ‘Interactivity’ options to the
animation.
Use the template in the next slide to give the details.
Insert the image of the step/s (explained earlier in the Section
3) in the box, and provide the details in the table below.
The details of Interactivity could be:

Types: Drop down, Slider bar, Data inputs etc.

Options: Select one, Multiple selections etc

Boundary Limits: Values of the parameters, which won’t show
results after a particular point

Results: Explain the effect of the interaction in this column

APPENDIX 1
Self- Assessment Questionnaire for Learners
•
Please provide a set of questions that a user can answer based
on the LO. They can be of the following types:
•
These questions should be 5 in number and can be of
objective type (like MCQ, Match the columns, Yes or No,
Sequencing, Odd One Out).
•
The questions can also be open-ended. The user would be
asked to think about the question. The author is requested to
provide hints if possible, but a full answer is not necessary.
•
One can include questions, for which the user will need to
interact with the LO (with certain parameters) in order to
answer it.
•
It is better to avoid questions based purely on recall.

Questionnaire:
Use appropriate formatting for the questions
