use cad models with the simulink 3d animation product
note
these topics assumes that the reader has a moderate knowledge of the simulink® 3d animation™ product. for vrml-specific information, such as the description of nodes and their fields, refer to the vrml97 standard.
use of cad designs
when you work with models of dynamic systems, often it is helpful to visualize them in a three-dimensional virtual reality environment. if most of the 3d designs in your organization are created using cad tools, convert these designs into forms that you can be use with:
simulink models
simscape™ multibody™ models
matlab® models
to adapt existing cad designs for visualization using the simulink 3d animation software:
import cad designs
integrate the virtual world created from the imported cad model into the simulink 3d animation environment.
import cad designs
you can use the following techniques to import cad designs for use in the simulink 3d animation product:
import stl and physical modeling file directly
import vrml models from cad tools
import vrml models from catia® software
integrate the imported model virtual world
after you import the cad model, use the simulink 3d animation software to modify the resulting virtual world so that you can use it effectively. also, create associations between the virtual world and simulink and simscape multibody models.
