SimMechanics Link

I have Solidworks 2010, and MATLAB r2010b.

I got to the MathWorks site to download the smlink.r2010b.win32.Zip and copy and paste the install_addon into a script/function m files.

I run install_addon('smlink.r2010b.win32') but the error as below comes out.

??? Error using ==> install_addon at 21
Archive smlink.r2010b.win32 does not exist.
Installation failed.

Did you try:

install_addon('smlink.r2010b.win32.Zip')

If this doesn't help, could you point to the page you downloaded these files from?

thank you very much Kaustubha. That helped me thru.

could u try answering my other doubts too?

i am trying to model a simple lever + actuator. building an array of them to extend into a moving material to engrave a profile.

its more on an on off actuation. is simMechanics able to model it? parameters that i am interested to view is the extention distance, torque/force.

how can i produce an input signal if its custom?
