A Quadcopter Simulation Program with GUI and Simulink 3D Animation

This quadcopter simulation program integrates a user-friendly graphical interface (GUI) with Simulink's powerful dynamic modeling capabilities to deliver an intuitive interactive simulation experience. The program's core implementation involves building the quadcopter's dynamic model through Simulink blocks and utilizing Matlab's 3D visualization tools for real-time simulation, enabling users to visually observe the aircraft's attitude and flight trajectory.

The GUI component provides convenient parameter adjustment functionality, allowing users to modify control parameters (such as PID gains) or set target positions in real-time, with simulation results immediately reflected in the 3D view. This design is particularly suitable for rapid verification and debugging of control algorithms, eliminating the need for repeated modifications to underlying model code through script-based parameter tuning functions.

The workflow consists of two main steps: first launching the Simulink model to load the dynamic system, then running the GUI configuration script to activate the interactive interface. This modular design maintains Simulink's advantages in complex system modeling while reducing operational barriers through GUI implementation, making it suitable for multi-level users from algorithm researchers to engineering practitioners. Key technical aspects involved in the program may include: multi-body dynamics modeling, real-time data interaction through Simulink-GUI communication blocks, and three-dimensional coordinate system transformations using transformation matrices.
