Limitations

The 3D simulation engine is not supported on Mac platforms.

The Simulation 3D blocks do not support:

  • Code generation

  • Model reference

  • Multiple instances of the Simulation 3D Scene Configuration block

  • Multiple Unreal Engine instances in the same MATLAB session

  • Rapid accelerator mode

  • Simulink® Online™ simulation.

You cannot create or use sim3d objects or functions in MATLAB Online.

In addition, when using these blocks in a closed-loop simulation, all Simulation 3D blocks must be in the same subsystem.
