Simulink 3D Animation Animate, visualize, and interact with models in 3D Simulink 3D Animation™ provides apps for linking Simulink® models and MATLAB® algorithms to 3D graphics objects. It lets you visualize and verify dynamic system behavior in a virtual reality environment. Objects are represented in the Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML), a standard 3D modeling language. You can animate a 3D world by changing position, rotation, scale, and other object properties during desktop or real-time simulation. You can also inject virtual sensor signals and access 3D animation data in Simulink or MATLAB for postprocessing. Simulink 3D Animation includes viewers for rendering and interacting with virtual scenes. 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 apps and functions for connecting models to virtual reality worlds ▪ 3D World Editor for authoring 3D worlds ▪ Viewers for 3D model visualization ▪ Video recording and animation playback ▪ Visualization of real-time simulations ▪ Remote access to simulations via standalone viewers or web browsers ▪ 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. Authoring and Importing 3D Worlds Simulink 3D Animation provides two editors for authoring and importing virtual reality worlds: V-Realm Builder and 3D World Editor. Building 3D Worlds V-Realm Builder in Simulink 3D Animation is a native VRML authoring tool that enables you to create 3D views and images of physical objects using VRML. 3D World Editor offers a hierarchical, tree-style view of VRML objects that make up the virtual...

Simulink Interface to 3D Worlds You can control the position, rotation, and size of a virtual object in a scene to visualize its motion and deformation. During simulation, VRML object properties in the scene can also be read into Simulink. A set of vector and matrix utilities for axis transformations enables associations of Simulink signals with properties of...

Recording and Sharing Animations Simulink 3D Animation enables you to record scene data and share your work. Recording Scene Data Simulink 3D Animation enables you to control frame snapshots (captures) of a virtual scene, or record animations into video files. You can save a frame snapshot of the current viewer scene as a TIFF or PNG file. You can schedule and configure recordings of animation data into AVI video files and VRML animation files for future playback. You can use video and image processing techniques on frame snapshot and animation data. These approaches enable the development...
