Some Problems about NetAnim, Please help me...

[Sevi Zhou]

Hi, everyong! I am a newcomer to ns3.

When I run the .xml file for the examples in the src/netanim/examples, I can see the packet flow in the NetAnim. 

When I load my .xml file in NetAnim and run it, the Sim time remain 0 and there is no packet flow...But I can see the packet sending and receiving results in the terminal. 

 

This problem has been bothering me for a long time, so I hope someone can solve it. My code in the src/aqua-sim-ng/examples/broadcastMAC_example.cc is as follows:

#include "ns3/core-module.h"

#include "ns3/network-module.h"

#include "ns3/mobility-module.h"

#include "ns3/aqua-sim-ng-module.h"

#include "ns3/applications-module.h"

#include "ns3/log.h"

#include "ns3/callback.h"

#include "ns3/netanim-module.h"

using namespace ns3;
