How to Import 3D CAD Models into a Flight Simulator (Solidworks to Simulink to FlightGear)

Update 2024!! please download the HL21/HL22 here, you can then simply update the .ac files with your own converted CAD files, and are good to go: github.com/Vinayak-D/AerospaceGNCUdemyCourse/tr…

The contents of that file belong to the MathWorks Inc (1995-2005), and I do not intend any copyright infringement. The aircraft can be also found on other websites.

Please watch with headphones and in 1080p. The audio will be the most clearer in that way.

To All Engineering students and those working in the Aerospace Industry: This video will be of great help for your aircraft designs!

In this video, I walk you through the detailed process of importing an Aircraft 3D design (created in Solidworks), into the popular open source flight simulator, FlightGear. The process is not difficult at all, however it can be tricky and took me a while to figure out.

I also talk about new Aerospace programs in this video, it is meant to serve as an informative tool to those working in the Aerospace and Defense Industries all around the World!
