Hi everyone,
I've written this code which makes an animation of 2 ellipsoids. Parameter k1 of these ellipsoids must depend on time (so they'd move asynchronously), but I need to animate them in one figure. Can I use loop for it or is it better to use timer & some kind of callback functions? The second problem - I need to move inner ellipsoid so they would have one common side. How can I do this?
a=5;
b=a;
c=10;
u = (0:0.05*pi:2*pi)';
v = [0:0.05*pi:2*pi];
X = a*sin(u)*cos(v);
Y = a*sin(u)*sin(v);
Z = c*cos(u)*ones(size(v));
Z(Z0)=0; % cut upper
V1=4/3*pi*a*b*c;
d=1/2;
e=2^d;
a2=a/e;
b2=a/e;
c2=c;
V2=4/3*pi*a2*b2*c2;
X2 = a2*sin(u)*cos(v);%-2.5;
Y2 = b2*sin(u)*sin(v);
Z2 = c2*cos(u)*ones(size(v));%+0.25;
Z2(Z20)=0; % cut
h=1/3;
for j = 1:20
k1=(sin(pi*j/20)+0.5)^h;
a=a*k1;
c=c*k1;
X = a*sin(u)*cos(v);
Y = a*sin(u)*sin(v);
Z = c*cos(u)*ones(size(v));
Z(Z0)=0;
a2=a2*k1;
b2=a2*k1;
c2=c2*k1;
X2 = a2*sin(u)*cos(v)+5;%-2.5;
Y2 = b2*sin(u)*sin(v);
Z2 = c2*cos(u)*ones(size(v));%+0.25;
Z2(Z20)=0;
hS1=surf(X,Y,Z);

hold on
hS2=surf(X2,Y2,Z2);
