Exporting Assemblies from CAD Systems into SimMechanics

Using CAD-to-SimMechanics translators, available for download free of charge, you can automatically create a SimMechanics model based on a SolidWorks or Pro/ENGINEER CAD assembly. You simply export the assembly in your CAD system as a Physical Modeling XML file and then import the XML file to automatically create the SimMechanics model.

CAD-to-SimMechanics translators export the mass and inertia of each part in the assembly and create the appropriate part in SimMechanics. The translators also query the constraint definitions to automatically connect the SimMechanics parts with the appropriate joints.
