It appears an Animate-d graph can no more combine with an unanimated graph object.In following example,where skew lines join two points on two displaced circles as Hypar (one-sheet) generators, how to Show the static and dynamic components together?
If juxtaposed Show succeeds, how to further leave permanent traces of generators?
h = 0.5; dt = 0.8;
HypPar[u_] =
Line[{{Cos[u], Sin[u], 0}, { Cos[u + dt], Sin[u + dt], h }}];
Genrtr = Animate[
Graphics3D[HypPar[u], Axes -> False,
PlotRange -> {{-1.02, 1.02}, {-1.02, 1.02}, {-1.02, 1.02}},
AspectRatio -> 1], {u, 0, 2 Pi, .1}, AnimationRunning -> True]
EndCircs =
ParametricPlot3D[{{ Cos[u + 1.5], Sin[u + 1.5] , 0}, {Cos[u], Sin[u],
h}}, {u, 0, 2 Pi}]
Show[Genrtr, EndCircs]
I hope you see the aim, viz.to visualize it the way we go about constructing a mechanical assembly.

Hi, Narasimhan,
You can combine them, but do it inside the Animate statement, rather than outside. Here you are:
h = 0.5; dt = 0.8;
HypPar[u_] =
Line[{{Cos[u], Sin[u], 0}, {Cos[u + dt], Sin[u + dt], h}}];
Genrtr = Animate[
Show[{
Graphics3D[HypPar[u], Axes -> False,
PlotRange -> {{-1.02, 1.02}, {-1.02, 1.02}, {-1.02, 1.02}},
AspectRatio -> 1],
ParametricPlot3D[{{Cos[u + 1.5], Sin[u + 1.5], 0}, {Cos[u],
Sin[u], h}}, {u, 0, 2 Pi}]
}], {u, 0, 2 Pi, .1}, AnimationRunning -> True]
Try it. Have fun,
Alexei
