If using this step, the user has to close RecurDyn model before starting the simulation.
Build Simulink model with RecurDyn Plant Block
1. Run the MATLAB program.
2. Change the working directory to the directory that has the M file and the RecurDyn model.
3. In the MATLAB command window, enter M file name.
4. In the MATLAB command window, enter “rdlib” for building RecurDyn Plant Block.
5. Open a new Simulink model window.
6. Drag and drop RecurDyn Plant Block on the new Simulink model window.
7. Design the control system with the pasted plant.
