vrphysmod - Add virtual reality visualization framework to block diagrams
Syntax
vrphysmod(vrmlfile, model)
vrphysmod(vrmlfile,
subsystem)
Description
vrphysmod(vrmlfile, model) or vrphysmod(vrmlfile,
subsystem) updates the model or subsystem that the SimMechanics mech_import function generates. As necessary, vrphysmod adds
additional blocks to visualize the mechanical system in virtual reality.
You can then save, rename, modify, and run the model. The .wrl extension
for vrmlfile is optional. If the second argument
is a subsystem, the model that contains it must be open before calling
this function. The association between mechanical system bodies and
corresponding VRML nodes found in the VRML file is based on the name
correspondence.
Note
The SolidWorks VRML export filter does not preserve part
instance names and the part order in the resulting VRML file. Therefore,
the association between such parts and the corresponding bodies in
the block diagram is not always an exact match. In such cases, the
function identifies nodes with partial matches and issues warnings.
To prevent these warnings, ensure that node DEF names
in the VRML file are identical to their corresponding bodies in the Simulink model
before running this function. If you receive this warning and the set of VRML files does not
originate in the SolidWorks product, ignore the message. Other
supported CAD tools also generate part names with similar names,
but preserve them across different export formats. |
Examples
To update the model four_link using the VRML
file four_link.wrl:
vrphysmod('four_link.wrl', 'four_link');To update the subsystem four_link/FOURLINK_ASM using
the VRML file four_link.wrl, ensure that the model
that contains the subsystem is open, then:
vrphysmod('four_link.wrl', 'four_link/FOURLINK_ASM');
To update the current system using the VRML file four_link.wrl:
vrphysmod('four_link.wrl', gcs);See Also
