QUARC Visualization Example Part III

This example demonstrates how to use the QUARC Visualization blocks with dummy actors to simplify actor animation. See Creating your First Visualization Part III for more details about using dummy actors and the creation of this demo.

QUARC Visualization Example Part III Demo Simulink model

Demonstration

To start the model, click the Run button on the toolbar, select Run from the Simulation menu of the diagram, or press Ctrl+T while the diagram is the active window. Using the A, S, D, and W keys on your keyboard, you can move around the scene. Click-drag your mouse on the visualization window to rotate your view.

If you would like to run the model in external mode, then select External from the Simulation/Mode menu of the diagram, or select External from the simulation mode combo box on the toolbar.

Then select Build from the QUARC menu of the diagram, or press Ctrl+B while the diagram is the active window. A great deal of output will appear in the Diagnostic Viewer about the progress of the build. If you cannot see the Diagnostic Viewer, you can open it by selecting View/Diagnostic Viewer from the menu of the diagram, or clicking on the View Diagnostics hyperlink at the bottom of the diagram. If you have MATLAB R2013b or earlier then the output will appear in the MATLAB Command Window.

When the build is complete, click on the Connect to Target button or select Connect to Target from the Simulation menu of the diagram to connect to the model. This will load the code on the target and automatically open the visualization window on the host.

Finally, start the model by clicking on the Run button or selecting Run from the Simulation menu of the diagram. The Start item of the QUARC menu may also be used to both connect and start the model in one operation.

Click on the Stop button or select Stop from the Simulation menu of the diagram to stop the model. The Stop item of the QUARC menu may also be used.

Running the example on a different target

To run the example on a different target, refer to the instructions on the Running QUARC Examples on Remote Targets page.
