MATLAB: How to create a stand alone executable that affects an external virtual world using Real-Time Workshop 7.3 (R2009a)

I am trying to compile my model that includes blocks from Simulink 3D Animation into a stand-alone executable using Real-Time Workshop. Using the Generic Real-Time (GRT) Target, I can create a stand-alone executable from the model, but when I run the executable nothing happens.
After further inspection of the generated code, I observed that no code was generated from the blocks that belonged to the Virtual Reality Toolbox.

Best Answer

The ability to generate code for blocks from Simulink 3D Animation is not available in Real-Time Workshop 7.3(R2009a).
The 'VR sink' block in Simulink 3D Animation is similar to the 'Scope' block in Simulink and it does not support code generation.
A possible workaround could be to run the model with blocks from Simulink 3D Animation in External mode using Real-Time Windows Target. The 'VR sink' block can be used as a viewing device in External Mode.
For more information, refer to the 'vrmaglev_rtwin' demo in the 'Demos' section of Simulink 3D Animation.
