Hi, support
I work in technical support of SolidWorks and one of my customers that have the need to export files in MATLAB to analyze. I wonder if the program accepts files of my program, as extensions .sldprt or .sldasm, if not, which he accepts CAD files.
Best regards, Cássio Dahmer

I have now gone through past Questions about connecting Solidworks with MATLAB, and have given them the tag "solidworks".

Hi Cassio, We wanted something to talk back and forth from SolidWorks to MATLAB in real time rather than one time using XML files. We wanted the changes in MATLAB to be immediately reflected in SolidWorks. We found this tool called CADLab which helped reduce the cycles between SolidWorks and MATLAB. It is available at http://www.finitebusiness.net/solutions.php?page=solutions&pid=1
Hope that helps out.

When I look through past questions, and look at the documentation, it appears to me that there is no provided support for sldprt or sldasm files. What I do see is that SimMechanics can handle STL files and possibly some other types.
