Manage Variant Modeling Components

Manage variant elements and define, reduce, and analyze variant configurations

Variant Manager is a tool that allows you to visualize the model hierarchy and centrally manage the usage of variant elements such as variant blocks and variant transitions across the hierarchy.

The tool is available as a support package named Variant Manager for Simulink^® with these main capabilities:

Variant Manager — Visualize the model hierarchy, manage the usage of variant elements across the hierarchy, and create and manage variant configurations.
Variant Reducer — Generate a reduced model that contains only selected variant configurations.
Variant Analyzer — Compare and contrast variant configurations to identify errors or inconsistencies.

Classes

`Simulink.Variant`	Specify conditions that control variant selection
`Simulink.VariantConfigurationData`	Create variant configurations programmatically
`Simulink.VariantControl`	Create a variant control variable object
`Simulink.VariantVariable`	Create a variant parameter object
`Simulink.VariantManager`	Access Variant Manager functionality programmatically
`Simulink.VariantConfigurationAnalysis`	Analyze variant configurations programmatically

Support Package

Variant Manager for Simulink

Use a central tool to manage all variation points in a variant model.
