I have recently installed simmechanics link into my copy of matlab and then connected the simmechanics link to my solidworks software so that i can export models to simmechanics.
This took me a while but eventually they all linked up and i can add simmechanics into solidworks as an 'add-in' now.
The problem im having is that when i go to the simmechanics menu within solidworks (on the top tool menu) - the 'export to xml' option is missing - im totally confused because the all the other menu options are there - like export settings etc
Does anybody know how i can get the export option to show up on the menu?
Many thanks

*****UPDATE: PROBLEM FIXED****************************************
I have fixed the problem - i forgot to register matlab as an automation server, i now have the option to save models as *XML files - but i guess it doesnt put an 'export' option on the simmechanics menu within solidworks.
Hopefully that bit of info will help somebody else with the same problem

Yes, you need to register MATLAB as an automation server. In Pro/E, there is
an export to SimMechanics option in the SimMechanics menu item, but I think
in SolidWorks it's different, you just do File -> Save As... -> SimMechanics
(.XML).

Many thanks Arnaud i have now managed to sucessfully export the xml file, but im still having trouble importing the xml file into simmechanics i keep getting the following error message when i use the import_physmod command to try and import the xml file:
Warning: Undefined function or variable 'mech_import'.

In C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2008a\toolbox\physmod\pmimport\pmimport\pmiu_dlg.p>pmiu_dlg at 44
I am using matlab 2008a - that is why i used the import_physmod command and not the mech_import command.
Would you be able to shed any light on this error message as i cant find any way to fix it.
Many thanks
