From: Brendan on 16 Feb 2010 20:20 Can anyone tell me how to get planets to actually "move" along their trajectory as particles in MATLAB? I need to do this to simulate the hohmann transfer to mars, I want to have an actual movie.. I have solved the ODE for the motion of the planets (simple simple model!) but it just plots the trajectory as a normal graph, I was wondering can you get the planets to move? Any help here would be great!
From: Saurabh Mahapatra on 16 Feb 2010 21:19 My favorite recommendation(which is not the only way to do this) is the Solar system visualization demo that ships with Simulink 3D Animation. See this on the web: http://www.mathworks.com/products/3d-animation/demos.html?file=/products/demos/3d-animation/vr1/solar.html If you have Simulink 3D Animation, try: >>vrplanets Though the example uses a Simulink model, you can still drive the same animation from MATLAB. Thanks, Saurabh
