need to add lights, viewpoints, and surrounding objects, modify part materials, define

navigation speeds, or make other additions and changes.

• The stl2vrml function converts individual STL files according to the STL

convention, which places parts in the global coordinate system. If you specify a

Physical Modeling XML file as the source, the resulting VRML assembly file reflects

the initial positions of the parts defined in the XML file.

• If you use SolidWorks, then do not use spaces when naming assemblies and

components. Avoiding spaces in assembly and component names ensures that the

assembly VRML file has the same tree structure as the related source in SolidWorks.

You can then use the vrphysmod function to process the assembly VRML file to

obtain a Simulink model with VRML visualization.
