Visualisation of Simulink and Simscape Model Workflows

Hi All,
I would like to add a visualisation to my Simulink-Simscape model during simulations, to aid debugging and for my upcoming VIVA.
My Simscape model is a type of twin mass coupled oscillator, additionally I have designed a surface model of the machine including the two masses, in my CAD package (Rhino 3D Nurbs) and can export the file as a generic step file and other formats.
My question is: what are the workflow options to add this visualisation to my model during simulation? My thoughts are using SimMechanics to import my CAD model in the appropriate file format and link the two masses from the CAD model to my Simscape model outputs (x1 and x2 position of both masses).
Any suggestions would be great, or point to the relevant help documents.
Thanks in advance.
Patrick

Simscape Multibody (previously known as SimMechanics) will give you 3D visualization.
It can import models from several CAD softwares. I don't see Rhino 3D Nurbs on the list, so you may need to assemble the joints manually.
