Simulink animation for BLDC motors

Hi my name is Beniamin and I am trying to simulate a BLDC motor design in simulink as is shown in this MathWorks video:

https://es.mathworks.com/videos/how-to-design-motor-controllers-using-simscape-electrical-part-1-simulating-back-emf-voltage-of-a-bldc-motor-1565241566392.html

When I try to animate the simulation by the function 'simulate', Matlab does not recognise it.

>> animateRotorPosition

Unrecognized function or variable 'animateRotorPosition'.

I am using a MATLAB R2019b - academic use version.

Thank you

Can you Share the Matlab File in 2016 version Please.

[Yakshraj]

same think with me

what are the condition/ steps for this

>>animateRotorPosition

[Ruisen]

@Yakshraj Have you worked out the solution? same problem

I didn't see anything about animate in that video. however I propose after running the simulation, save your data including time vector to workspace. then using this code you can animate the plot. for example you want to plot flux vector vs rotor position at each time sample:

n = length(time); % number of samples
% theta_r = rotor position
% psi = flux
for i=1:n
%     plot your data here
plot(theta_r(i),psi(i))

drawnow
end

That was not the link, sorry, this is the video:

https://es.mathworks.com/videos/how-to-design-motor-controllers-using-simscape-electrical-part-2-modeling-a-three-phase-inverter-1567758371716.html

In the minute 7:10 uses a function called "animate".

I could not find information about it in the "help" bowser.

>> animateRotorPosition
Unrecognized function or variable 'animateRotorPosition

My goal is to see this animation using the simulink model described in the video.

Thank you

there's a link to download the model files including animateRotorPosition.m

I have copied the script of the link and it worked

Thank you for your help

you're welcome. please don't forget to hit 'Accept'.

Actually I have the same question And I want to know why the Data Inspector icon enabled at the min 6:30 I think that's the key to open that command window

How did you get the flux output from simscape BLDC motor block?
