CAD translation is the conversion of a CAD assembly model into aSimscape™ Multibody™模型。这种转换依赖于特殊形式tted XML file to pass a detailed model description from your CAD application toSimscape Multibodysoftware. The model description enablesSimscape Multibodysoftware to recreate the assembly model as a block diagram.

You translate a CAD assembly in two steps—export and import. The export step converts the CAD assembly model into an XML multibody description file and a set of STEP or STL part geometry files. The import step converts the multibody description and part geometry files into an SLXSimscape Multibodymodel and an M data file. The model obtains all block parameter inputs from the data file.
