2D Animation of SimEvents

Hi All,

I am new to Matlab and recently joined because of the interest of discrete event simulation.

I have found an interesting video in the MATLAB youtube channel.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ToBxrVXgl3I&list=WL&index=41

Does anyone know the 2D animation in the video starting from 1:37 that is belong to the function of Simulink or that is linked to another software to play the animation?

Any keywords you could suggest for me to study for this 2D animation simulation?

Thank you

It is made in MATLAB.

I understand that you wanted to know about the 2D animation that is shown in the video.

The example that is shown in the video is available at below MathWorks documentation link:

https://in.mathworks.com/help/simevents/ug/simulation-of-a-medical-device.html

This example uses Model Animation Video for viewing and interacting. To view and interact with the model using animation, click the switch on the 'Animation Switch' block. Clicking the switch 'On' opens the 'Hematology Diagnostic Instrument' window. If you do not use model animation, the example runs until the end.

Creating a Model Animation Video:

You can create a model animation video interactively, using the Video Creator tool, or programmatically, using the smwritevideo function. The tool and function provide equivalent ways to perform the same task. Use the tool to configure and create a video more intuitively. Use the function for your command-line workflows, e.g., to automate video capture following model simulation.

You can find the complete details of creating a model animation video in the below link:
