MATLAB: Error in smimport(‘ ‘) command: Illegal use of reserved keyword “end” AND Attempt to execute SCRIPT smimport as a function

Question

Hello. I tried to import a CAD model from solidworks (xml file format) to simsape multibody, using the smimport command. The command does not seem to work as i get the following error:

Error: File: smimport.m Line: 170 Column: 1

Illegal use of reserved keyword "end".

When i click on the error the following file appears:

Does anyone knows what is this error?

I then tried to run the matlab as administrator and delete the 'end' from line 170. Then i got a different error:

>> smimport('sm_Assem.xml')

Attempt to execute SCRIPT smimport as a function:

C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2018b\toolbox\physmod\sm\import\m\smimport.m

I have no idea what is this script file and i am afraid i will mess it up if i try to modify it.

Any help would be really appreciated.

Thank you
