Current product documentation

New features and changes introduced in this version are described here.

Aerospace Toolbox Product Replaces Control System Toolbox Product as Requirement for Aerospace Blockset Product

The new Aerospace Toolbox product is now required to use the Aerospace Blockset software. See the Aerospace Toolbox User's Guide for more information.

The Control System Toolbox product is no longer required for the Aerospace Blockset product. It is recommended for certain applications and still required for certain blocks.

Interpolate Matrix Blocks Modified

The Interpolate Matrix(x), Interpolate Matrix(x,y), and Interpolate Matrix(x,y,z) blocks have been modified to accept the new Simulink Prelookup block output. The Interpolate Matrix blocks inputs have been doubled in number. You must now provide the interpolation index and interpolation fraction as separate input signals.

The old Interpolate Matrix and Prelookup blocks are deprecated. Models built with the old blocks continue to be supported from the Aerospace Blockset and Simulink obsolete libraries, but not visible in the Library Browser.

Aerodynamic Forces and Moments Block Extended

The Aerodynamic Forces and Moments block has been extended to allow calculations in the stability and wind axes, in addition to the body axes.

To preserve backward compatibility, the default state of the block assumes a body-body transformation and hides the body velocity input port. If you change this default to stability or wind axes, the body velocity port appears.

New Digital DATCOM Forces and Moments Block

The Digital DATCOM Forces and Moments block calculates aerodynamic forces and moments using the Digital DATCOM static and dynamic stability derivatives and coefficients.

FlightGear Version 0.9.10 Is Supported by FlightGear Simulator Interface

The FlightGear simulator interface now supports the standard binary distributions of FlightGear version 0.9.10 on all platforms.

The FlightGear Preconfigured 6DoF Animation and Pack net_fdm Packet for FlightGear blocks have been updated accordingly, as have the asbhl20 and asbdhc2 demos.

Pack net_fdm Packet for FlightGear Now Supports Code Generation

With Real-Time Workshop®, the Pack net_fdm Packet for FlightGear block now generates code for all targets, including xPC Target.

The Send net_fdm Packet to FlightGear and FlightGear Preconfigured 6DoF Animation blocks now generate valid but nonfunctional code. For simulating with FlightGear on an xPC Target™ computer, use the Pack net_fdm Packet for FlightGear block with the UDP Send block from the xPC Target block library to route real-time simulation data to a running FlightGear session.

New SimViewingDevice Block

The FlightGear Preconfigured 6DoF Animation block is now a SimViewingDevice. You can use this block when you have connected your model to running target code using the Real-Time Workshop external mode.
