​​Simulink® model elements as objects​

Represent Simulink® model elements as MATLAB® objects, with enhanced search and batch operation capabilities.

Simulink® Model Elements as MATLAB® Objects

Introduction

The slelement package is a working prototype for the ideas of

1. Representing Simulink model elements as MATLAB objects, usable with Simulink APIs (get_param, add_block, etc)

2. Searching model elements with an extensible sementic

3. Doing batch operations on model elements

Examples

Complete API cheatsheet, and live demos are under the doc directory. Below is just a sample of what you can do.

Making objects out of identifiers

Use the "makeElement" helper to create model element objects.

mdl = slelement.makeElement('modelname')
blk = slelement.makeElement('modelname/blockname')

Finding elements and performing batch operations

Find all the ports connected to outport blocks:

element_selector = ...
    Ports('porttype','outport') >       ... % all output ports connected to
    ( Blocks('blocktype','Outport') |   ... % outport blocks'
    Ports('porttype','inport') );         % inports
outport_inputs = mdl.select(element_selector);

Turn on port value labels for all of them:

outport_inputs.set('ShowValueLabel','on');
