Open Model

Open the example modelsldemo_mdlref_depgraph, which contains multiple referenced models in a model hierarchy.

Find Referenced Models

Use thefind_mdlrefsfunction to programmatically find referenced models and Model blocks. For example, enter this command in the MATLAB Command Window:

[refMdls, modelBlks] = find_mdlrefs('sldemo_mdlref_depgraph')

find_mdlrefsreturns two cell arrays,refMdlsandmodelBlks.refMdlscontains the names of all models that are directly or indirectly referenced bysldemo_mdlref_depgraph. By default, the last element inrefMdlsis the name of the input model.modelBlkscontains block paths for all Model blocks in the top model and all referenced models.

View Model Reference Dependency Graph

To view the dependency graph for thesldemo_mdlref_depgraphmodel, perform one of these actions to open the Dependency Analyzer for a model:

In the dependency graph, the boxes represent Simulink models. The arrows indicate dependencies. For example, the link fromsldemo_mdlref_depgraphtosldemo_mdlref_houseindicates thatsldemo_mdlref_depgraph参考文献sldemo_mdlref_house. If the model references libraries, subsystems, or protected models, the dependency graph shows them in the hierarchy.

In this view, only one box exists for each model in the graph and at most one arrow exists from one box to another box. The dependency graph does not show if multiple references exist from one model to another model. This view does not show which models are referenced in normal mode and which models are referenced in accelerator mode.

Interact with Dependency Graph

View Model Instances Dependency Graph

To view the referenced model instances in the dependency graph, perform one of these actions:

In the instance view, the boxes represent Simulink models. The arrows indicate dependencies. The dependency graph shows when multiple references exist from one model to another model. In the instance view, libraries are never shown.

In this view two boxes are labeledsldemo_mdlref_F2Cbecause this model is referenced twice, once bysldemo_mdlref_outdoor_tempand once bysldemo_mdlref_heater. The top model is colored in blue. The red color denotes a normal mode reference, and the yellow color denotes an accelerator mode reference.

sldemo_mdlref_heatermakes a normal mode reference tosldemo_mdlref_F2Cand an accelerator mode reference tosldemo_mdlref_thermostat.

Currently, the referencesldemo_mdlref_outdoor_tempmakes tosldemo_mdlref_F2Cis an accelerator mode reference. Suppose you want to change this reference to be a normal mode reference:

The dependency graph now shows the referencesldemo_mdlref_outdoor_tempmakes tosldemo_mdlref_F2Cas a Normal Mode (Overridden) reference. Note thatsldemo_mdlref_F2Cis configured to run in normal mode but its parent,sldemo_mdlref_outdoor_temp, is configured to run in accelerator mode. Normal mode references from models running in accelerator mode are not supported, sosldemo_mdlref_F2Cwill run in accelerator mode during simulation.

To make this model run in normal mode, you must configure all of its ancestors to run in normal mode. To do this:
