- Load your simulation data: If you have your simulation data in a .mat file, load it using the load function or read the data from a matrix.
- Create a figure: Initialize a figure to display the animation.
- Loop through the different initial conditions: Use a for loop to iterate through your simulation data for different initial conditions.
- Plot the data for each initial condition: Inside the loop, plot the data corresponding to each initial condition using functions like plot, scatter, or any other appropriate visualization method.
- Update the figure: After plotting each set of data, use the drawnow function to update the figure and display the new data.
- Pause for a specified duration: Use the pause function to control the animation speed by specifying the time between frames.
% Load your simulation data or create a sample data matrix
% Replace 'simulation_data.mat' with your data file or matrix
load('simulation_data.mat');
% Create a figure
figure;
title('Simulation Animation');
% Define the time step and animation duration
time_step = 0.1; % Adjust this based on your simulation time step
animation_duration = 5; % Total animation duration in seconds
% Loop through different initial conditions
for initial_condition = 1:size(simulation_data, 3)
% Extract data for the current initial condition
data = simulation_data(:, :, initial_condition);
% Plot the data (assuming it's a 2D state-space representation)
plot(data(:, 1), data(:, 2), 'b-'); % Adjust the plot style as needed
% Set axis limits based on your data
xlim([min(data(:, 1)) max(data(:, 1))]);
ylim([min(data(:, 2)) max(data(:, 2))]);
% Update the figure
drawnow;
% Pause for a specified duration to control animation speed
pause(time_step);
% Clear the current plot to prepare for the next frame
clf;
end
simulation_data is assumed to be a 3D matrix where each slice along the third dimension represents the simulation data for a different initial condition. You would replace 'simulation_data.mat' with the path to your actual data file or data matrix. Adjust the plot style, axis limits, time step, and animation duration as needed for your specific simulation data.
