3D Engine

Configure scenes in reference applications

    Description

    The 3D Engine block implements the 3D simulation environment. Vehicle Dynamics Blockset™ integrates the 3D simulation environment with Simulink® so that you can query the world around the vehicle for virtually testing perception, control, and planning algorithms.

    To position the vehicle in the scene:

    1. Select the position initialization method:

      • Recommended for scene — Set the initial vehicle position to values recommended for the scene

      • User-specified — Set your own initial vehicle position

    2. Click Update the model workspaces with the initial values to overwrite the initial vehicle position in the model workspaces with the applied values.
