Using matlab to compare solidworks part files without opening solidworks
A short background on me. I am new to the forum and i have not used matlab in years. I am a mechanical design engineer and have a degree in Mechanical engineering. For the past few years I have been finding ways to automate my job through programming all self taught. What i am trying to find out is with matlab would i be able to read groups of thousands of solidworks cad files and retrieve the native files topology for use in further comparison or the cad files. In short i am essentially slowly working towards trying to create a machine learning neural network of existing cad files to allow for the creation of better naming conventions and avoidance of creating multiple instances of the same part. I have created a couple processes but the ether require each part being opened in solidworks and then run the topology or it requires the file to be converted to a step file, and C# ins't a good platform for machine leaning.
