The paper presents a technique for integrating three-dimensional solid-state models developed in the CAD SolidWorks environment into the MATLAB/Simulink dynamic modeling environment. A key element of the research is the use of the Simscape Multibody module to transform geometric data and kinematic relationships into a multi-mass dynamic model. The technique has been tested using the example of creating a virtual prototype of a steering wheel platform.

Keywords: SolidWorks, MATLAB/Simulink, Simscape Multibody, Virtual prototype, steering kinematics, end-to-end design, multi-mass dynamic modeldiversification, production and technical goals to ensure production flexibility
