MATLAB Interface

Although using the Simulink 3D Animation software with the Simulink interface is the

preferred way of working with the Simulink 3D Animation software, you can also use the

MATLAB interface. Enter commands directly in the MATLAB Command Window or use

scripts to control virtual worlds.
