Hi Yogev
The problem that you are encountering can be because of outdated plugin or improper installation.
Kindly follow these steps to update your plugin with a fresh install:
- Disable the current version by entering ‘smlink_unlinksw’ at the MATLAB command prompt.
- Go to the Simscape Multibody Link download page and get the files that match your release. After downloading, do not extract the ZIP File.
- Run MATLAB as Administrator. Add the installation files’ location to path and then install as follows"
addpath('C:\path\to\your\installation\files');
install_addon('smlink-<your version>-win64.zip');
- Open a MATLAB session in administrator mode. At the MATLAB command prompt, enter regmatlabserver. This will register MATLAB as an Automation Server.
- Enable Simscape Multibody Link Plugin in SolidWorks. Follow the steps in this link: https://www.mathworks.com/help/smlink/ref/linking-and-unlinking-simmechanics-link-software-with-solidworks.html
- The link above also lists steps to export a CAD Assembly model to Simscape Multibody.
I hope you find the above explanation and suggestions useful!
