Alternate mode of virtual scene viewer integrated with MATLAB figures, enables you to combine the following in the same figure:
Virtual scenes and Handle Graphics® objects
Multiple views of a virtual world
Views of different virtual worlds
This feature also allows for the docking of these figure windows, each of which can contain different worlds, into split screen MATLAB figure windows.
See in the Simulink 3D Animation User's Guide for details on this alternate viewer mode, including how to activate it (use vrsetpref to set the DefaultViewer property to 'internalv5').
The vrplay function now contains virtual scene and player controls in a single MATLAB figure window.
The Simulink 3D Animation product has the following new functions:
Processes VRML files created by CAD tools for use with Simulink 3D Animation environment. In previous releases, you manually processed these files before using them in the Simulink 3D Animation environment.
Automatically adds a Simulink 3D Animation scene to SimMechanics™ models created from CAD tools. In previous releases, you manually processed these files before using them in the Simulink 3D Animation environment.
This release provides a new object, vr.canvas. This object allows for the placement of a virtual scene view into a MATLAB figure, with full control of its position and ability to be combined with other Handle Graphics objects into one GUI.
The associated virtual scene now opens automatically when you open the model. This behavior occurs even if the Simulink 3D Animation block associated with the virtual scene is in a subsystem of the model. In previous releases, the ability to automatically open virtual scenes did not work for VR Sink blocks in subsystems.
The Simulink 3D Animation files have moved from matlabroot\toolbox\vr to matlabroot\toolbox\sl3d.
Use the new SimState feature to save the complete simulation state. Unlike the final states stored in earlier versions of Simulink, the SimState contains the complete simulation state of the model (including block states that are logged). You can then restore the state at a later time and continue simulation from the exact instant at which you stopped the simulation. See Saving and Restoring the Simulation State as the SimState in the Simulink User's Guide.
