8 Simulink 3D Animation Stand-Alone Viewer

View Animations or Virtual Worlds with Orbisnap
This topic assumes that you have a prerecorded WRL animation file or an existing
virtual world file. This procedure uses a file named vr_bounce_anim.wrl.
1
Start Orbisnap. For example, in Windows double-click orbisnap.bat in
matlabroot\toolbox\sl3d\orbisnap\bin.
This is an Orbisnap starter file that calls the Orbisnap executable. Orbisnap is
displayed.
2
In Orbisnap, select File > Open.
A file browser is displayed.
3
Browse to the folder that contains the prerecorded WRL animation file or virtual
world you want to view.
4
Select the virtual world or prerecorded WRL file you want to view.
5
Click Open.
The file is displayed. If the file is an animation file, the simulation begins.
6
To close Orbisnap, select File > Close.
Using the menus, toolbar, and navigation panel, you can perform many of the same
operations on the virtual world that you can with the Simulink 3D Animation Viewer.
See “Orbisnap Interface” on page 8-6 for an overview of the Orbisnap interface. See
“Start Orbisnap” on page 8-5 for a description of the Orbisnap command-line options.
