Error: Incompatible version of 3D Simulation engine: 25.1.0 (MATLAB R2025b & UE 5.3)

Hi everyone,

I am attempting to run a co-simulation using MATLAB R2025b and Unreal Engine 5.3. According to the compatibility matrix, these versions should work together.

However, when I configure the Simulation 3D Scene Configuration block to use the "Unreal Editor" as the scene source and attempt to run the simulation, I encounter the following error in Simulink:

Incompatible version of 3D Simulation engine: 25.1.0

I am using the official MathWorksSimulation plugin (v25.1.0) and Visual Studio 2022.

Has anyone experienced this specific version mismatch error with R2025b?

Thanks.

Hi Murat,

My sincere apologies for this issue that was introduced in R2025b Update 2 due to a mismatch between the plugin versions made available in the support package, and the plugin versions that MATLAB is expecting.

For now, the following workaround should help resolve the issue:

 >> setpref("Simulation3D","PluginVersion","25.1.0")

This issue will be resolved in a future support package update that contains plugins version 25.2.0. With the updated plugins, the workaround will no longer be needed.

Thanks,

Nishan
