Features
Automatically assembles multibody simulation model from SOLIDWORKS CAD assembly
Rigid subassemblies in SOLIDWORKS are converted into a single rigid body in Simscape Multibody.
Mass, inertia, and location of the part center of gravity automatically transferred to simulation model
Topology and constraints automatically transferred to simulation model
Benefits
Fewer iterations on mechanical design because requirements are accurate and consistent
Fewer mechanical prototypes because mistakes are caught earlier
Reduced system cost because components are not oversized
Less system downtime because integrated system is tested using virtual commissioning on a digital twin

Robot Arm with Conveyor Belts
This example models a robotic arm and two conveyor belts. One conveyor belts bring blocks to the robot. The robot grabs the block, flips it over and transfers it to another conveyor belt which tran…
DownloadScissor Lift Test Environment
This example shows a scissor lift modeled in Simscape Multibody. The lift is run through some simple tests to explore requirements for the actuator and see how the entire system behaves.
DownloadMechatronic Running Robot
This model shows how a running or walking robot can be modeled to support system design. This four-legged robot has compliant legs that can store and re-release kinetic energy. As such it is biolog…
DownloadWater Wheel Generator
This example models the transfer of power from hydraulic flow to an electrical system. Water flowing from a spout fills buckets on a water wheel. A hole in the bottom of each bucket allows the wate…
