new_system - Create empty Simulink^® system

Syntax

new_system('sys')
new_system('sys', 'Model')
new_system('sys', 'Model', 'subsystem_path')
new_system('sys', 'Model', 'ErrorIfShadowed')
new_system('sys', 'Library')

Description

new_system('sys') or new_system('sys', 'Model') creates an empty system where 'sys' is the name of the new system. This command displays an error if 'sys' is a MATLAB^® keyword, 'simulink', or more than 63 characters long.

new_system('sys', 'Model', 'subsystem_path') creates a system from a subsystem where 'subsystem_path' is the full path of the subsystem. The model that contains the subsystem must be open when this command is executed.

new_system('sys', 'Model', 'ErrorIfShadowed') creates an empty system having the specified name. This command generates an error if another model, M-file, or variable of the same name exists on the MATLAB path or workspace.

new_system('sys', 'Library') creates an empty library.

Note   The new_system command does not open the window of the system or library that it creates.

See Model and Block Parameters for a list of the default parameter values for the new system.

Examples

This command creates a new system named 'mysys'.

new_system('mysys')

The command

new_system('mysys','Library')

creates, but does not open, a new library named 'sys'.

The command

new_system('vdp','Model','ErrorIfShadowed')

returns an error because 'vdp' is the name of a model on the MATLAB path.

The commands

load_system('f14')
new_system('mycontroller','Model','f14/Controller') 

create a new model named mycontroller that has the same contents as does the subsystem named Controller in the f14 demo model.
