which is the right syntax with find_system and blocktype

Hello,

my model includes Gain and Weld Joint,

so

find_system(gcs,'SearchDepth',1,'BlockType','Gain')

ans =

1×1 cell array

{'untitled/Gain'}

while

find_system(gcs,'SearchDepth',1,'BlockType','sm_lib/Joints/Weld Joint')

ans =

0×1 empty cell array

someone know why?

Using 'sm_lib/Joints/Weld Joint' for block type is incorrect. To find it out, do it manually first. Select the block, run get_param(gcb,'BlockType')

Hi,

The correct Block Type for Weld Joint is “SimscapeMultibodyBlock”.

Please use the following line of code for Weld Joint

find_system(gcs,'SearchDepth',1,'BlockType','SimscapeMultibodyBlock') 

Please refer to the following link for more information related to the loading system and their blocks information:
