Is there a tracking view in Simulink Simmechanics?

I'm simulating a car in Simmechanics 2nd generation and when simulating the car, the car is driving out of the screen. Is there a way to pin the view to the car so the car can be followed during the simulation?

Thanks

Unfortunately, there is no "moving" view in SimMechanics 2G right now.

You can do this with Simulink 3D Animation (SL3D), although that would introduce a lot of overhead in setting up a new tool. Up to you depending on how crucial it is to have a moving view and on whether you have the product. With SL3D, you can use a Simulink signal to move the camera (or viewpoint) of the 3-D world over time.

As an example, I would refer to this: http://www.mathworks.com/videos/animated-example-skoda-octavia-driving-seen-at-different-viewpoints-68736.html
