I am trying to import a Solidowrks assembly into simMechanics. I followed all the steps as in the web site. I have the pull-down menu SinMechanics Link in SolidWorks. When I try to save the assembly in the xml format, I get this error:
Could not start MATLAB. Check your MATLAB installation. Consult documentation to identify possible causes of failure.
I get this error regarding Matlab is open or not.
Note: I am using Matlab 2010a and SolidWorks 2010

- Install matlab and solidworks on same drive (ex: C: or D:).
- Right-click on the MATLAB icon, and selecting "Run as Administrator"
- Write the command
install_addon('smlink.r2014a.win64.zip')
(adapt the name of the version to your version, here r2014a ) when on the same directory as the two downloaded files.
- Type the following commands one after another:
smlink_linksw
regmatlabserver
- At that point you should be able to enable the SimMechanics plugin in Solidworks with these instructions.

For those of you who are getting this issue when connecting MATLAB with sim mechanics link:
>> install_addon('smlink-r2022a-win64.zip')
Installing smlink-r2022a-win64...
Error using install_addon
Archive architecture () does not match the MATLAB architecture (win64).
Installation of smlink-r2022a-win64 failed.
Answer:
When you download the zip folder shown on the download page as "smlink.r2022a.win64.zip" it will download with the name "smlink-r2022a-win64.zip". Notice the "." are replaced with dash marks. When using install_addon("zip_file.zip"), it does not work with using dash marks in the name of the zip file. I replaced the dashed marks with periods (".") and then used the command install_addon and it worked:

Hi Mohamed, Could you solve this problem? Because I have the same issue, I am working with MATLAB R2011a and SolidWorks 2011 I have tried connect MATLAB as an Automation Server using these ways:
Writing in system command matlab -regserver Writing regmatlabserver in MATLAB command line Writing enableservice('AutomationServer',true) in MATLAB command line
And when I try to export model this message remains
Thanks for your answer

Hi, I'm here because I got the same error. I don't know what caused yours but my problem was I installed 3 version of Matlab and all have simmechanics installed on.
So this is what I did to get it solved and hope this helps for who runs into the same problem.
- run matlab as administrator, on command prompt type smlink_unlinkinv (since i'm using inventor) as it's told http://www.mathworks.com/help/physmod/smlink/ref/register-simmechanics-link-with-solidworks.html
Making sure the unlink works, I checked on inventor the adds-in is gone.
- run matlab as administrator again re-install, re-register, and re-enable the CAD plug-in. And again I open the inventor, the adds-in is now there.
Last, I attempt to export some .iam file, this time it works. I think that there might be a problem with matlab automation server that handles the interfacing because of the multiple installations... or else I don't know for sure.

I am getting the same problem. I get the RegSvr32 message that says:
"Make sure the binary is stored at the specified path or debug it to check for problems with the binary or dependent .DDL files
The pecified module could not be found."
Please help
Thank you,

I'm using solidworks 2012, my computer is 32bit, matlab 2015b
i have followed the instruction 3 times, but the link doesn't appear in solidworks 2012
is it possible to have simmechanics link in solidworks 2012, but the matlab that i use is matlab 2015b
