Visualization

View flight paths with MATLAB^®, Unreal Engine^®, or flight simulator animation; input data to models; display measurements through standard cockpit instruments

Visualize aerospace vehicle dynamics, including airplanes and urban air mobility (UAM) vehicles in and around airports, using MATLAB graphics-based 3DoF and 6DoF animation blocks, the Simulation 3D library blocks, or the third-party FlightGear flight simulator blocks. Unreal Engine is a product of Epic Games^®. FlightGear is open source software available through a GNU General Public License (GPL).

You can define geometries using MATLAB variables, MAT files, AC3D files, or custom formats. All animation library blocks support Simulink^® external mode execution for visualizing your rapid prototyping and hardware-in-the-loop applications.
