Hi,

Based on your shared details, I understand that when attempting to use the 'smexportonshape' function with the given URL, the server responds with a 403 status code, indicating "forbidden." Additionally, when you try to access the URL directly through a web browser, you encounter a 401 status code with the message stating an "Unauthenticated API request."

It's important to recognize that a 403 Forbidden status code means that the server understands your request but is declining to fulfill it. This usually happens if the user lacks the necessary permissions for the resource.

According to the documentation, you must initially grant Simscape Multibody Link access to your Onshape account when using the 'smexportonshape' function for the first time. Doing so allows the Onshape platform to provide the function with access through Javascript tokens, which secure your login details.

Please refer to the following documentation to know more about the 'smexportonshape' function and its use: https://in.mathworks.com/help/releases/R2023b/sm/ref/smexportonshape.html

I hope it helps.

Thanks
