CADNexus is offering a free trial license of our new CAD-MATLAB Connector.

Engineers using MATLAB® for physical modeling and simulation tasks can use CADNexus CAPRI to seamlessly import and modify CAD designs in their programs. Instead of using simplified representations that could result in errors between the actual engineering designs and system models, MATLAB users can easily introduce real CAD data early into their simulation and modeling process shortening product development cycles and reducing the risk of errors between design and analysis teams.

MATLAB users can import live CAD designs into their M-Scripts and perform functions such as:

Query the geometry details such mass properties and other mechanical details

Visualize CAD parts and assemblies

Extract discrete representation that can be used for analysis,

Access and drive the design intent such as features and parameters for DOE and optimization. Users can update parameters and refresh the CAD model directly in the MATLAB environment.
