MATRIXx API

[pkad]

Currently what specific Mechanical CAE/CAD software can be exported and imported using the Xmath/SystemBuild API?

Thanks

pkad,

Xmath (and thus Systembuild) can read delimited text files with values separated by commas, tabs, or spaces.  As long as your CAD program can export in this format, you can read it into Xmath. 

Hope this helps.

Hi,

I want to allow models that are developed in other Mechanical CAD/CAE software to be compiled for use in Xmath/SystemBuild, and vice versa.  This is similar to the S-function within Simulink.

Do you know which Mechanical CAD/CAE softwares are supported by the Xmath/SystemBuild API?

Thanks.

pkad,

We don't explicitly support any particular CAD/CAM packages.  However, the specific functionality you are looking for is referred to as UserCode blocks, SystemBuild's parallel to S-Blocks.  You can learn more in Chapter 14 of this SystemBuild user's guide.

If your CAD/CAM package can export the appropriate C code, then chances are you can get the code to work with UserCode blocks.

Hope this helps!
