"platform" error after copying Matlab example to a PC

I copied the code from this example https://uk.mathworks.com/help/aerotbx/ug/analyze-access-between-a-satellite-constellation-and-an-aircraft.html , but when trying to execute it on my PC I have an error:

Error using platform

Expected a string scalar or character vector for the parameter name.

aircraft.obj = platform(mission.scenario,aircraft.trajectory, Name='Aircraft');

The example runs ok on Matlab online. What could be the issue when I run absolutely the same code on my PC?

What release of MATLAB and Aerospace Toolbox are you using? It's possible the example is using language features or functionality that was introduced in a later release than the one you're using. If that's the case, you could check the documentation that is part of your installation to see if there's a version of that example, which would use only the functionality available in your release.

Matlab 2023a and aerospace - well, a trlal version downloaded from matlab a few days ago

Comparing the version of the example from release R2023a and the version from the most recent release (as I type this, release R2024b) I see there are differences between the two examples. I haven't used Aerospace Toolbox enough to be able to tell which of the differences are significant, but I recommend using the release R2023a version of the example for now. If you want, you could step through the sections of the two examples to determine what's different then review the appropriate function documentation pages to see how they have changed (or what has been introduced) between R2023a and R2024b.

thank you for pointing this out! Indeed, I'll try the 2023 example then
