Gentlemen, I beg you to kindly inform me about the following question:
(1) The three-dimensional trajectory of an airplane is defined by certain variables: the six components of the linear and angular velocities, altitude, heading angles, yaw, roll, etc.
(2) Mathematica integrates without difficulty (normally) the set of 12 non-linear differential equations that allow obtaining the temporal evolution of the variables mentioned for certain flight conditions, controls, etc.
(3) MY QUESTION: Is there a set of Mathematica commands that allows the graphical visualization of the dynamics of the airplane - its evolution as a function of time - so that, from the integrated equations, the movement of the airplane can be visually captured?
(4) The SIMULINK program of Matlab allows this to be done, … Does Mathematica have the possibility of doing it too?
Many thanks.

i think you want to know whether Mathematica can do what Simulink could do. i do not know too. Maybe you can try Matlink, you can run Simulink model in Mathematica and analyze data by Mathematica.
I don’t use System Modeler, but it seems to have the capability. Perhaps if you contacted Wolfram, they could help you understand whether it would fit your needs.
