Best Answer

For making the plate with a hole , here are two methods that you can try:
1. You can create a STEP file in CAD and then import that in multibody: 
2. You can define a cross section and then extrude it (in MATLAB) to make the part
The second example also has a Cross-Sections with Holes example that will be useful for your case and help you creating the custom solid block. Following link provides more information:
