This enhancement has been incorporated in Release 2006a (R2006a). For previous product releases, read below for any possible workarounds:
The order of the "Coefficients" for the "Aerodynamic Forces and Moments" block in the Aerospace Blockset is to be specified as given below:
Cx
Cy
Cz
Cl
Cm
Cn
For better understanding of this order, view the "aeroblk_HL20" demo by typing the same at the command prompt. Double click on the "HL20 Airfram"' and then double click again on the "Aerodynamic coefficients" block. Notice that "Coefficients" are calculated as a sum of "Body Rate Damping", "Datum Coefficients" and "Actuator Increments". Double click on each of these blocks and note the calculations performed to obtain the "Coefficients".
