How to set default values for Results forms including animations and frame counts?

I repeatedly load animations of .op2 files for SOL 103/145 and almost always have to animate the results, set to 40 frames, and then setup some default visualization settings. I keep looking through the documentation and can't find the variable names for those settings to either define the variable state or load in with a PCL statement.

For default visualisation settings, you can use Results Templates. These can be set up under

Tools/Results/Result Templates. A result template, once defined, can be made the default by using some settings in the settings.pcl file. For full info, look in the Patran help under Basic Functions/Tools/Tools Commands/Result Templates.

Alternatively you can use the MSC_Initialize tool, which is documented in the help under Results Postprocessing/Introduction to Results Postprocessing/Using Results/Create, with a heading of Default Results. It's also explained in the following SimCompanion article:
