How I import robot to FlexSim?

[ FlexSim 22.2.0 ]

I'm trying to add a UR5 robot model as part of an academic work but the .skp model I downloaded from 3d wirehouse, but when I leave only the robot model it doesn't allow me to add the movements of the robot.

Am I doing the import the wrong way? Or is the problem the .skp file? I choose the UR5 model installed in my files from the robot look selection options.

yes, there is much more to do than just to import a shape.

I'm pretty sure the joint system of the UR5 doesn't match those of the FlexSim 6-axis robot, so even if you succeed in bringing in the shapes and map them to the right components, you'll not get correct kinematic behavior.
