Save out your Model as a parasolid from SolidWorks. Note that you will want the geometry as close to ready for meshing as possible, as performing model "surgery" in simmodeler is not always straight forward. The outputted file will have the format <file_name>.x_t.
Note: if you do not have a parasolid model of your own, please go to the directory /projects/tutorials/On_Ramp_parasolid and use On_ramp_example.x_t.
Next, you'll want to change the extension from .x_t to .xmt_txt. To do this, run mv <file_name>.x_t <file_name>.xmt_txt from your terminal. From here, you are ready for the convert step, which is documented here.
Note: For the convert step, you cannot be on portal1 (machine viz003 is good). Also, the file "convertParasolid2Sim.sh" may be found in the directory /users/mabl7046/Group_Dir. (temporary fix)
Once this is complete, you are ready to use simmodeler!
