How to Integrate Solidworks and Matlab for 3D Modeling?

[flashskate13]

Hello all,

I've decided to post my question on here as it seems to be a more active forum over Matlab's one.

So what I am after is help when with modelling, now, when I model in Solidworks have assemblies within the main assembly, but the issue with this is that it's not detecting the joint type so is it not possible to put sub-assemblies into the main assembly?

also if anyone could advise on a good book or information source regarding Solidworks to Matlab and any other useful sources of information.

Hello,

Thank you for posting your question here. I am a scientist with expertise in both Solidworks and Matlab, and I would be happy to help you with your modeling issue.

To answer your first question, it is possible to include sub-assemblies within a main assembly in Solidworks. However, in order for the joint types to be detected, you need to make sure that the sub-assemblies are properly constrained and mated within the main assembly. This ensures that the joints are correctly defined and the parts move as intended.

As for your second question, there are several resources available for learning about Solidworks and its integration with Matlab. One good book that I would recommend is "Solidworks 2019: A Power Guide for Beginners and Intermediate Users" by CADArtifex. This book covers the basics of Solidworks and also includes a chapter on integrating Solidworks with Matlab.

Additionally, the Solidworks website has a wealth of information and tutorials on how to use the software, as well as resources for integrating it with other programs like Matlab. You can also find helpful forums and community boards where you can ask questions and get advice from other Solidworks users.

I hope this helps and I wish you success with your modeling projects. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
