About the Requirements Management Interface

The Requirements Management Interface (RMI) allows you to link requirements with Simulink and Stateflow objects. Requirements links have the following attributes:

• A description of up to 255 characters.

• A requirements document path name, such as a Microsoft Word file. (The RMI supports several built-in document formats and also allows you to register custom types of requirements documents.)

• A link to a location inside the requirements document, such as bookmark, anchor, line number, cell range, and so on.

Use the RMI to:

• Associate requirements with:

  • Simulink objects, such as subsystems, blocks, and signals

  • Stateflow charts, states, transitions, boxes, and functions

• Navigate from a Simulink or Stateflow object to requirements information.

• Navigate from an embedded link in a requirements document to the corresponding Simulink or Stateflow object.

• Highlight Simulink or Stateflow objects that have requirements associated with them.

• Create reports for your Simulink model that show which objects have links to which requirements.

Note   You can add requirements to a Model or Subsystem block linked from a Simulink library, but not to its contents. You cannot modify blocks in a Simulink library.
