To animate a solution to an ODE in MATLAB, you can use the ode45
function to solve the ODE and generate a set of time-dependent solutions. Then you can use the plot
function to create an animation of the solution as it evolves in time.
Here is an example script that solves a simple ODE and animates the solution:
main.m619 chars26 lines
This script solves the ODE dy/dt = -y
with initial condition y(0) = 1
over the time span [0, 10]
, and then animates the solution using a loop that updates the plot at each time step. The resulting animation shows the solution decaying exponentially over time.
