Version History

Introduced in R2023b

R2024a: Simulation 3D General Aviation Pack Block Now Supports Earth-centered Earth-fixed (ECEF) Input Coordinate Frame

To enable ECEF coordinate systems for translation input, the Simulation 3D General Aviation Pack block has been updated. Use these parameters with the Use Earth center as origin (ECEF) parameter in the Simulation 3D Scene Configuration block.

• Select input coordinate frame

  • ECEF — ECEF input coordinate frame. When you select this coordinate frame, the annotation Origin: Earth center (ECEF) appears under the pack block icons.

  • NED — NED coordinate frame. Prior to R2024a, NED was the only supported coordinate frame.

• Direction of x-axis (degrees clockwise from north) — Direction of the x-axis. This parameter is enabled when you select the Enable geospatial correction check box.
