How can I form a brick or cylinder and visualize it in simulink?

I am trying to visualize a rough car model. It should just have a body and 4 wheels. I am triyng to do it in simmechanics.

In SimMechanics 2 this is already done inside of the solid body block.

In SimMechanics 1 this can be accomplished by defining the coordinates of the endpoint of the brick. However, if you are in SimMechanics 1 and just starting a project, I would move on to SimMechanics 2 to take advantage of the advancements.

Thank you very much. I solved the problem when I added solver configuration. But when I put more the one solid blocks all of them lay on the origin. I can not move the solid blocks or change their positions by using ist parameters. Is there any way that I can put the blocks in different positions?

Sounds like you are just getting started with simmechanics. I would suggest checking out the videos, demos and webinars on the product page.
