Is there software available to visualize helicopter dynamics in Matlab/Simulink?

AI Thread Summary
Software solutions for visualizing helicopter dynamics in Matlab/Simulink are sought after by users looking to enhance their simulations. The ideal tool would allow for the input of position and attitude time series rather than computing dynamics directly. A user discovered a useful visualization tool from Brian Becker's blog, which has proven to be helpful. The discussion highlights the common need for such visualization tools in helicopter dynamics simulation. Overall, there are existing resources available that can assist in this area.

I'm simulating helicopter dynamics but would like to better visualize the behavior of the helicopter and so I'm looking for some existing software solution. Ideally this would be similar to an aircraft simulator which would be rather taking position and attitude time series as input instead of computing the dynamics/trajectory itself. I'm using Matlab/Simulink for Simulation so obviously a Matlab package would work if it's not too much of a hassle to set up.

This is a pretty generic problem so I'd be surprised if there wasn't anything out there...

Thanks in advance!

Thread '1:1 versus 2:1 Mechanical Advantage debate'

The rope is tied into the person (the load of 200 pounds) and the rope goes up from the person to a fixed pulley and back down to his hands. He hauls the rope to suspend himself in the air. What is the mechanical advantage of the system? The person will indeed only have to lift half of his body weight (roughly 100 pounds) because he now lessened the load by that same amount. This APPEARS to be a 2:1 because he can hold himself with half the force, but my question is: is that mechanical...

Thread 'Newton's first law?'

Some physics textbook writer told me that Newton's first law applies only on bodies that feel no interactions at all. He said that if a body is on rest or moves in constant velocity, there is no external force acting on it. But I have heard another form of the law that says the net force acting on a body must be zero. This means there is interactions involved after all. So which one is correct?

Thread 'Free fall of person in a sled to direct horizontal motion by atmospheric resistance'

Let there be a person in a not yet optimally designed sled at h meters in height. Let this sled free fall but user can steer by tilting their body weight in the sled or by optimal sled shape design point it in some horizontal direction where it is wanted to go - in any horizontal direction but once picked fixed. How to calculate horizontal distance d achievable as function of height h. Thus what is f(h) = d. Put another way, imagine a helicopter rises to a height h, but then shuts off all...
