Simscape Multibody - How to model a link with holes

I have just written this easy code on MATLAB that provides the figure of a link with two holes. How can I export this function in Simscape Multibody in order to work with same exact 3D model? There must be something missing in the code for sure; I failed different attempts trying to recall the function in the info box of a general the extruded solid. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello Marco

You run the function prior to the simulation to obtain the 2D profile of the solid with hole. Then u get something like:

contour = [xA yA; xB yB; ....; xF yF] where you go from A to F in counter-clockwise fashion.

The vector contour is what you then introduce in the extruded solid dialog to create the body with required shape.

Best of Luck Juan
