	After verifying and importing the 3D model you should see 4 new files in your workspace. The files are the individual 3D objects with the .step file-extension and a file with a .xml file-extension describing how the individual models are assembled, their physical and material properties. The number of .step files will change with different projects, but there should always be 1 .xml file generated for every time you import a project.

	Opening the Mechanics Explorer window will reveal the model in Simulink's own 3D object viewer. The explorer together with the Simscape block diagram can be used to verify that the model was imported correctly. This concludes the OnShape to Simscape import section.
