Visualization and Import Guide

---

These chapters make up the SimMechanics™ Visualization and Import Guide. This guide assumes that you have some SimMechanics modeling experience. The import chapters assume some CAD experience as well.

The guide explains the visualization features specific to SimMechanics software, how to use these features with your SimMechanics models and simulations, and how to customize visualization with external graphics files and with body and other settings. It also describes the SimMechanics model importer, how to generate SimMechanics models from external applications such as computer-aided design (CAD), and how to combine imported-generated models with customized visualization.

SimMechanics Link Utility   The SimMechanics model importer communicates with external applications through the SimMechanics Link utility. See the SimMechanics Link documentation for further details.
