It lets you visualize and verify dynamic system behavior in a virtual reality environment. Objects are represented in the Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML), an open 3D modeling standard. You can animate a 3D world by changing object properties such as position, rotation, and scale during desktop and real-time simulations. You can also access 3D animation data in Simulink or MATLAB for post-processing. Simulink 3D Animation includes a viewer for rendering and recording high-quality animations. With the 3D World Editor, you can author detailed scenes assembled from 3D models exported from CAD-based or Web-based sources. You can incorporate multiple 3D scene views inside MATLAB figures and interact with these views via a force-feedback joystick, space mouse, or other hardware device. Key Features ■ Simulink blocks and MATLAB functions for connecting models to virtual reality worlds ■ 3D World Editor for authoring 3D worlds ■ Video recording and animation playback ■ Visualization of real-time simulations ■ Client/server architecture ■ Interaction with 3D views via a joystick, space mouse, or other hardware device Visualization of Simulink based applications, clockwise from bottom left: self-balancing robot, aircraft over terrain, automotive vehicle dynamics, and wind farm.
