Create 3D Simulation Using MATLAB

Simulink® 3D Animation™ provides an interface to a 3D simulation environment that is visualized using the Unreal Engine® from Epic Games®. You can create a 3D environment with actors and co-simulate with the Unreal Engine. An actor is any object placed in the 3D environment that can move and rotate to support 3D transformations. You can use MATLAB® to create a 3D environment, build actors, and view the 3D environment in the Simulation 3D Viewer.

Simulink 3D Animation requires Microsoft® DirectX® software to simulate in the 3D environment. If this software is not already installed on your machine, the toolbox prompts you to install it.

To learn how to create and view 3D simulations in the Unreal Engine simulation environment, follow these examples.
