    Description

    example

    setName(port,name) sets the name for the designated port.

    Examples

    Create a model, get the root architecture, add a component, add a port, and set a new name for the port.

    model = systemcomposer.createModel("archModel");
systemcomposer.openModel("archModel");
rootArch = get(model,"Architecture");
newComponent = addComponent(rootArch,"newComponent");
newPort = addPort(newComponent.Architecture,"newCompPort","in");
setName(newPort,"compPort")

    Input Arguments

    Port, specified as a systemcomposer.arch.ArchitecturePort or systemcomposer.arch.ComponentPort object.

    Name of port, specified as a character vector or string.

    Data Types: char | string

    Definitions

    TermDefinitionApplicationMore Information
    architecture

    A System Composer™ architecture represents a system of components and how they interface with each other structurally and behaviorally.

    Different types of architectures describe different aspects of systems. You can use views to visualize a subset of components in an architecture. You can define parameters on the architecture level using the Parameter Editor.
    model

    A System Composer model is the file that contains architectural information, including components, ports, connectors, interfaces, and behaviors.

    Perform operations on a model:

    • Extract the root-level architecture contained in the model.

    • Apply profiles.

    • Link interface data dictionaries.

    • Generate instances from model architecture.

    A System Composer model is stored as an SLX file.

    component

    A component is a nontrivial, nearly independent, and replaceable part of a system that fulfills a clear function in the context of an architecture. A component defines an architectural element, such as a function, a system, hardware, software, or other conceptual entity. A component can also be a subsystem or subfunction.

    Represented as a block, a component is a part of an architecture model that can be separated into reusable artifacts. Transfer information between components with:

    		Components
    port

    A port is a node on a component or architecture that represents a point of interaction with its environment. A port permits the flow of information to and from other components or systems.

    These are different types of ports:

    • Component ports are interaction points on the component to other components.

    • Architecture ports are ports on the boundary of the system, whether the boundary is within a component or the overall architecture model.

    		Ports
    connector

    Connectors are lines that provide connections between ports. Connectors describe how information flows between components or architectures.

    A connector allows two components to interact without defining the nature of the interaction. Set an interface on a port to define how the components interact.
