Built-In Link Type Distribution

R2026b
Since R2026b

Metric ID

modeldesign.TraceabilityAnalysis[slcomp.BuiltinLinkTypeDistribution]

Description

This metric returns the number of requirement links for each link type for each unit in your project. Use this metric to understand how requirements trace to design elements and to assess the distribution of link types across your units. The metric analyzes built-in link types, not custom link types.

Supported Artifacts

This metric collects metric results for Units in the project. To control what the dashboard classifies as a unit, see Categorize Models in Hierarchy as Components or Units.

Collection

To collect data for this metric, execute the metric engine with the metric ID.

metric_engine = metric.Engine;
results = execute(metric_engine,"modeldesign.TraceabilityAnalysis[slcomp.BuiltinLinkTypeDistribution]")

View the metric result values for a specific unit.

results(1).Value
results(1).ScopeAlias

To collect all traceability metrics in a single call, use empty bracket syntax. Use the MetricID property to distinguish between results.

results = execute(metric_engine,"modeldesign.TraceabilityAnalysis[]")

Results

The metric returns an array of metric.Result objects, one for each unit in the project. Use the Value property of the metric result object to view the metric result values. Use the ScopeId and ScopeAlias properties to identify which unit the result belongs to.

The ScopeAlias property returns the name of the unit.

The Value property returns a structure with these fields, where each field contains the number of links of that type:

  • Relate — Number of links with the Relate type

  • Implement — Number of links with the Implement type

  • Verify — Number of links with the Verify type

  • Derive — Number of links with the Derive type

  • Refine — Number of links with the Refine type

  • Confirm — Number of links with the Confirm type
