My geometry is composed of several complex sobdomains. How can I just animate just one subdomain?
Thank you for you help ion advance,

The basic method for setting up an animation seems to be to set up a plot showing what you want (at a specific time or parameter), and then adding an animation to the report tab which references that plot over your solution range.
So, you need to look in the plot settings not the animation settings.
In terms of the plot settings, you could try adding a conditional expression based on the domain index to what you're plotting (it's under "geometry and mesh" in the variables list).
For example, to plot fluid flow in the x direction for domain 2 only, set this as the expression:
u_fluid*(dom == 2)
There is probably a better way to handle this, but hopefully this advice helps get you started.
