I made a model on which I give all the motion as input with some gimbal joints of the the simmechanics 2 gen. The motion is reproduced quite fine but the motion doesn't seems have any impact one the forces and torques in the joint. However, when I gives some external forces on the feet, I get the signal on the hip joint... So from here my question : does SimMechanics 2nd generation compute inverse dynamic or it is only to do some forward dynamic simulation ?

Yes, SimMechanics allows you to prescribe motion and automatically computes forces and torques -- both along the axis of motion and any reaction forces due to constraints in other directions.
Which version of MATLAB are you using? I ask because SimMechanics 2nd Generation is fairly new and the features have been catching up over the last 6 releases.
