About Model Update
Note: The CAD assembly files of this case study require Pro/ENGINEER.
The following example shows how to update a previously generated SimMechanics
model with a new XML file exported after changes have been made to the original CAD
assembly. The example starts with a double pendulum assembly.
For a general discussion of retranslation and update-import, see “Retranslate CAD
Assembly”.
