Hi Ahmed

Impressive machine!

You would need at least Simscape Multibody R2019a, better yet with the most recent release R2020a.

There are a couple of example in the documentation for Simscape Multibody:

https://www.mathworks.com/help/physmod/sm/ug/run-a-kinematic-analysis.html#:~:text=Given%20the%20path%20to%20trace,Multibody%20provides%20the%20KinematicsSolver%20class.

But to be fair you may want to take a look at the Robotics System Toolbox which provides as well multiple capabilities in that area:

You can see some example here:

Depending on the release there is more capabilities to integrate Simscape Multibody models as well

Hope that helps
