Simulink®

Using the Bus Object API

The capabilities of the Bus Editor are also available programatically. Some of these capabilities, like importing and exporting M-files and MAT-files, are not specific to bus objects, and are described elsewhere in the MATLAB^® and Simulink^® documentation. The Simulink software provides the following API functions for use specifically with bus objects (class Simulink.Bus) and bus elements (class Simulink.BusElement):

Simulink.Bus.cellToObject

Convert a cell array containing bus information to bus objects in the base workspace

Simulink.Bus.createObject

Create bus objects for blocks, optionally saving them in an M-file in a specified format

Simulink.Bus.save

Export specified bus objects or all bus objects from the base workspace to an M-file in a specified format

In addition, when you use Simulink.SubSystem.convertToModelReference to convert an atomic subsystem to a referenced model, you can save any bus objects created during the conversion to an M-file.
