Simulink® Verification and Validation™

What Is the Requirements Management Interface?

The Requirements Management Interface (RMI) allows you to associate requirements with Simulink^® models and Stateflow^® charts. In general, a requirement has the following attributes:

• A requirement description of up to 255 characters

• The pathname of a requirements document, such as a Microsoft^® Word file. (The Requirements Management Interface supports several built-in document formats and also allows you to register your own custom types of requirements documents.)

• A link to a location inside the requirements document

Use the Requirements Management Interface to

• Associate requirements with

  • Simulink models

  • Simulink subsystems and blocks

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

• Navigate from a Simulink block or Stateflow object in a diagram or in the Model Explorer to a requirement

• Navigate from an embedded link in a requirements document to the corresponding Simulink or Stateflow object (when you create two-way links using the selection-based linking mechanism)

• View objects in Simulink or Stateflow diagrams that have requirements associated with them
