Customization Process and Guidelines :: Customizing the Model Advisor (Simulink® Verification and Validation™)

Simulink^® Verification and Validation™

Customization Process and Guidelines

To customize the Model Advisor, create an M-file called sl_customization.m and include this file on your MATLAB^® path.

Note Do not place an sl_customization.m file that customizes the Model Advisor in your root MATLAB directory or any of its subdirectories, with the exception of the matlabroot/work directory. Otherwise, the Model Advisor ignores the customizations that the file specifies.

The M-file should contain a set of functions for registering and defining custom checks, tasks, and groups. Follow these guidelines:

Function	Description	When Required
`sl_customization()`	Registers custom checks and tasks with the Simulink^® customization manager at startup (see Registering Custom Checks, Tasks, and Groups).	Required for all customizations to the Model Advisor.
One or more check definition functions	Defines all custom checks (see Defining Custom Checks).	Required for custom checks and to add custom checks to the By Product folder.
One or more task definition functions	Defines all custom tasks (see Defining Custom Tasks).	Required to add custom checks to the Model Advisor tree, except when adding the checks to the By Product folder. You must write one task for each custom check.
One or more group definitions	Defines all custom groups (see Defining Custom Groups).	Required to add custom tasks to new folders in the Model Advisor tree, except when adding a new subfolder to the By Product folder. You must write one group definition for each new folder.
Check callback functions	Defines the actions of the custom checks (see Creating Callback Functions for Checks).	Required for custom checks. You must write one callback function for each custom check.
One process callback function	Specifies actions to be performed at different stages of execution (see Defining a Process Callback Function).	Optional.
One or more calls to check input parameters	Specifies input parameters to custom checks (see Defining Check Input Parameters).	Optional.
One or more calls to check list views	Specifies calls to the Model Advisor Result Explorer for custom checks (see Defining Check List Views).	Optional.
One or more calls to check actions	Specifies actions to take for custom checks (see Defining Check Actions).	Optional.

The following is an example of a the Model Advisor that has custom checks defined in a custom groups. The selected check includes input parameters, list view parameters, and actions.
