I have downloaded the files that fix the issue reported in the Bug Report for Report ID 333954. After restarting MATLAB, I look under the mask of the '6DoF ECEF (Quaternion)' block and then look under the mask of the 'Calculate DCM and Euler Angles' block.

The nomenclature of signals used within the ‘Calculate DCM and Euler Angles’ subsystem seems to be incorrect.

Within this subsystem, multiple signals are marked as DCM_be. Also I see that there are multiple signals that bear the name DCM_ef. This seems to be incorrect.

This enhancement has been incorporated in Release 2007b (R2007b). For previous product releases, read below for any possible workarounds:

The blocks used under the mask of the 6DoF ECEF (Quaternion) block are obtained from the Aerospace Blockset library. The Euler Angles to Direction Cosine Matrix block (with the same input and output signal names) are used in multiple places, leading to confusion about incorrect signal names.
