Warning
This content refers to Simscape™ Multibody™ Link First Generation software. First-generation features are slated to be deprecated and should be avoided. To prevent compatibility issues in future releases, the Simscape Multibody Link plug-in no longer supports the translation of CAD models into Simscape Multibody Link First Generation models.

The Simscape Multibody Link add-in tool provides a Settings option. Use the option to specify:
Tolerances — linear, angular, and relative
To access the Settings parameters:
Open the assembly to export.

The Settings dialog box opens.
Dialog Box
The dialog box contains two panes:
Assembly Tolerances — Specifies linear, angular, and relative tolerances of exported assembly.
Enter the export tolerances for a CAD assembly. During the conversion of CAD constraints to Simscape Multibody joints, Simscape Multibody Link compares the spacing, alignment, and relative numerical errors with the export tolerances.
Field | Default Value | Purpose | Default | Unit |
---|---|---|---|---|
Linear tolerance | 1e-005 | Smallest significant length difference | 1e-5 | Unit used in assembly. The default is mm |
Angular tolerance | 1e-005 | Smallest significant angle difference | 1e-5 | Unit used in assembly. The default is rad |
Relative roundoff tolerance | 1e-012 | Smallest significant relative numerical difference | 1e-12 | — |
