MATLAB: Unable to import CAD geometry in Simscape Multibody

Question

I am unable to open a CAD file with ".x_t" extension in Simscape Multibody. I am trying to import the CAD geometry using "FILE SOLID". Is there any other way to import CAD geometry in Simscape Multibody ?

Error message shows : The parameter File Name is an invalid file. Error reading file : "file name"

Kindly help.

Hi Shyam,

The File Solid block can read Parasolid files, which typically have the extension x_t. Perhaps the file you have is invalid. If you share the file with us, perhaps we can tell you what the problem is.
