3DoF Animation

Create 3-D MATLAB Graphics animation of three-degrees-of-freedom object

  • 3DoF Animation block

Libraries:
Aerospace Blockset / Animation / MATLAB-Based Animation

Description

The 3DoF Animation block displays a 3-D animated view of a three-degrees-of-freedom (3DoF) craft, its trajectory, and its target using MATLAB® Graphics.

The 3DoF Animation block uses input values and dialog parameters to create and display the animation.

This block does not produce deployable code, but you can use it with Simulink® Coder™ external mode as a SimViewingDevice.

Ports

Input

expand all

Downrange position and altitude (positive down) of the target, specified as a two-element vector.

Data Types: double

Downrange position and altitude (positive down) of the craft, specified as a two-element vector.

Data Types: double

Attitude of the craft, specified as 1-by-1 scalar, in radians.

Data Types: double

Parameters

expand all

Three-dimensional space to be viewed, specified as a six-element vector.

Programmatic Use

Block Parameter: u1
Type: character vector
Values: six-element vector
Default: '[0 5000 -2000 2000 -5050 -3050]'

Time interval at which the animation is redrawn, specified as a double scalar.

Programmatic Use

Block Parameter: u2
Type: character vector
Values: double scalar
Default: '0.05'

Scale factor to adjust the size of the craft and target, specified as a double scalar.

Programmatic Use

Block Parameter: u3
Type: character vector
Values: double scalar
Default: '1.0'

Preset entrance views, specified as:

  • Fixed position

  • Cockpit

  • Fly alongside

These preset views are specified by MATLAB Graphics parameters CameraTarget and CameraUpVector for the figure axes.

Tip

To customize the position and field of view for the selected view, use the Position of camera and View angle parameters.

Programmatic Use

Block Parameter: u5
Type: character vector
Values: Fixed position | Cockpit | Fly alongside
Default: 'Fixed position'

Camera position, specified using the MATLAB Graphics parameter CameraPosition for the figure axes as a three-element vector. Used in all cases except for the Cockpit view.

Programmatic Use

Block Parameter: u6
Type: character vector
Values: three-element vector
Default: '[2000 500 -3150]'

View angle, specified as MATLAB Graphics parameter CameraViewAngle for the figure axes in degrees as a double scalar.

Programmatic Use

Block Parameter: u7
Type: character vector
Values: double scalar
Default: '10'

To display the animation during the simulation, select this check box. If not selected, the animation is not displayed.

Programmatic Use

Block Parameter: u8
Type: character vector
Values: on | off
Default: 'on'
