solidworks file to matlab

I need some help finding a way to use a part created in solidoworks in matlab. i want to be able to rotate this part and/or fire it from a certain point. i am trying to be able to call on that part to use it in a function. Is there anyway to import a SW file into matlab?

It depends on what information you want to retain in the SolidWorks model, and whether you want the model to remain parametric (i.e., you can change a part dimension and have it automatically update the model as in SolidWorks), in Matlab. You won't be able to directly import a *.sldprt file into Matlab, but you can export the model into various formats that Matlab can read. If you search the File Exchange, there are a importer functions for a variety of the export file types, including *.iges, *.stl, *.vrml, and others.
