Can I draw a profile in SolidWorks from Matlab?

4 views (last 30 days)
I have a Matlab script which takes many parameters as input and creates the profile of a cam as output (two vectors with x and y coordinates).
I now want to bring the profile to SolidWorks, so that I can extrude it and obtain the CAD model that I need.
I need it to be an automatic process. The final product shall only require the user to specify the parameters in the Matlab script, push the run button and get the CAD model of the cam in SolidWorks.
Can Matlab do it?
If needed Excel can be used, but with no action from the user in the final version. This might be a useful Excel macro: https://forum.solidworks.com/message/178560#comment-178560
I would prefer to not use Visual Basic because I've never used it, but if there is no other way please tell me how to do it.
Any solution, suggestion or brainstorming insight is very welcome.
