You'll need a Simscape Multibody Link Plugin in SolidWorks. Here is the instruction: https://www.mathworks.com/help/physmod/smlink/ref/linking-and-unlinking-simmechanics-link-software-with-solidworks.html

Then follow the example on this page to use the Plugin to export xml for Multibody import: https://www.mathworks.com/help/physmod/smlink/ug/export-robot-assembly-from-solidworks-software.html

3DXML file type can use with Matlab also?
