How plot charts/sim animation like battery simulation chart function of simscape battery?

Hi,

I have the time vs temperature data in 3D and I want ti visualize it same as the battery simulation chart functionality (https://www.mathworks.com/help/simscape-battery/ref/simscape.battery.builder.batterysimulationchart.html)

How do I create such charts/animation?

Hi @Soham Dange,

Do you want to replicate the plot generated by batteryChartSimulation or want to create an animated plot in general?

Hi Soham,

Animating a plot generally involves updating the plot inside a loop by updating the values or properties.

Example code for an animated 3Dplot where the ‘ZData’ is being updated:

% Example data
time = linspace(0, 10, 100); 
position = linspace(0, 5, 50); 
[Time, Position] = meshgrid(time, position);
temperature = sin(Time) .* cos(Position);

% Create a 3D surface plot
figure;
h = surf(Time, Position, temperature, 'EdgeColor', 'none');
ylabel('Position');
zlabel('Temperature');
colormap('hot'); 
colorbar;


% Animate the plot over time
for k = 1:length(time)
    % update ZData for each frame to simulate animation
    set(h, 'ZData', sin(Time - time(k)) .* cos(Position));
    pause(0.1); 
end

Also refer to the documentation on animation for further clarification:https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/animation-1.html

Hope it helps you get started!
