Model Import
Import a multibody model into theSimscape Multibodyenvironment. Use thesmimport
function for this task. You can import CAD, URDF, and Robotics System Toolbox models. Robotics System Toolbox models require a product license to create. The function parses the model, extracts the necessary data, and reconstructs the assembly using Simscape Multibody blocks for its bodies, constraints, and joints.
URDF models must be in URDF files and Robotics System Toolbox models inrigidBodyTree
objects. CAD models must be in a suitable XML format. Use thesmexportonshape
function to export them as such from Onshape software. Use the Simscape Multibody Link CAD plug-in for Autodesk®Inventor®, Creo™ Parametric, or SolidWorks®models. The plug-in is free to use. See theSimscapeMultibodyXML schemafor an example of a custom export app for models from other sources.
