graphic simulation on simulink

from my previous question http://www.mathworks.ch/matlabcentral/answers/43243-3d-simulink-animation-ball-on-surface

i found a example from %AHMADREZA ESHGHINEJAD (<mailto:[e-mail] [e-mail]>) of a bouncing ball on a sinusoidal surface and tried to modify it to fit my model.

but matlab shows an error while calling the "graphicfunction" without any further information. i've been trying to figure out for hours trying to fix it, but it still does not work.

i would really appreciate your help.

Type 'ver' at the command line. Do you have 'Simulink 3D Animation' installed? If not, therein lies your problem.

thanks for your reply! it's installed. i still couldn't find the mistake and it still won't work.
