Programmatic Model Editing

You can programmatically create, edit, search, and check Simulink^® models. To interact with a model programmatically, the model must be loaded. Creating or opening a model also loads the model. Use the functions listed under Create Models to create, load, or open a model. Then, use the other functions on this page to programmatically edit the model and its content. In the function input arguments, specify the object you want the function to edit as a handle, path, or filename. This target object can be a model, a component such as a subsystem or library, or a model element such as a block or signal line. You can specify target objects whose names and locations you know, or you can programmatically search for target objects that meet certain criteria. See the function documentation and Get Handles and Paths for details.

When you want to share a model with a third party without revealing intellectual property, create a protected version of your model using the Simulink.ModelReference.protect (Embedded Coder) function. See Protect Models to Conceal Contents (Embedded Coder) for details.
