To have the software manually record the animation, set the RecordMode property
to manual. Type
set(myworld,'RecordMode','manual');
6
Direct the Simulink 3D Animation software to record the animation as a .avi
format file. Type
set(f,'Record2D','on');

Run the Simulink model. From the Simulation menu, select Mode > Normal, then
click Simulation > Run. Alternatively, if you are using the Simulink 3D Animation
default viewer, you can run the Simulink model with one of the following from the
viewer:
• From the menu bar, select the Simulation menu Start option to start or stop the
simulation.
• From the toolbar, click Start/pause/continue simulation to start the
simulation.
• From the keyboard, press Ctrl+T to start the simulation.

As the simulation runs, start recording the animation by setting the virtual world
Recording property. Type
set(myworld,'Recording','on');
This turns on the recording state.
