Environment simulation in Simulink

I want to simulate the motion of an AUV in a water environment. How can I simulate the propeller's rotation to generate thrust for the AUV's movement? Thank you.

i'm using matlab simulink with tool simscape multibody. Mathworks has an example relate to AUV simulation but enviroment is calculated to Flift and Fdrag values and impact to centrer of mass UUV.

Hi ha,

You can refer to the MathWorks example - https://www.mathworks.com/help/aeroblks/modeling-and-simulation-of-an-autonomous-underwater-vehicle.html which demonstrates how to model and simulate an AUV using Simulink and the Aerospace Blockset.

In this example, the workflow involves first providing the system with reference parameters, such as a target position or velocity. The controller then uses the vehicle’s current position and velocity (measured by sensors) to calculate the required thrust commands, which are sent to the plant for actuation.

I hope this helps!
