environment of a ROV in simscape

i exported my rov model from solidwork as you can see in the picture bilow i added a transforme sensor and a scoop so that i can see my rov under the influence of gravity but now i want to see my rov in the simulation move in the 3 axes x y z when i searched in internet it says that i need to creet and environment for my rov but i dont know how to do it would you please help me

Hi Yasine,

I understand that you have exported a model of a Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) from SolidWorks into a simulation environment and you want to simulate the ROV's movement in three-dimensional space (x, y, and z axes).

To achieve the desired 3D movement of your ROV in the simulation, you can follow these steps:

• Use the “Mechanism Configuration” Block to input gravitational acceleration values.
• For typical Earth gravity, set the values to (0, 0, -9.81) m/s², assuming the z-axis is vertical. This will simulate the gravitational pull on your ROV.
• Documentation for “Mechanism Configuration” block:https://www.mathworks.com/help/releases/R2024b/sm/ref/mechanismconfiguration.html
• Attach motion sensors to your ROV model to measure its movement along the x, y, and z axes.
• Position these sensors parallel to the joints or parts of the ROV you wish to monitor.
• Documentation for “Tranform sensor” block https://www.mathworks.com/help/sm/ref/transformsensor.html

You may refer to the following model on “rov design and analysis” for more information
