I have the 2024 version of solidworks and I want to import a cad assembly into matlab. How can I do this since the add in feature is no longer valid for newer solidworks

Any help or links on how to do thisn would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @Mohammed Faraan,

To import a CAD Assembly from SolidWorks to MATLAB, you can use the “Simscape Multibody Link” plug-in on your SolidWorks installation to export the CAD Assemblies from SolidWorks in an XML format and use the “smimport” function to import the XML file into MATLAB.
