Getting the properties value of connector destination port in system composer

Hi,

I am writing a script to create a Electrical analysis for architectural model.

Lets suppose my connectors between two ports act as wire, I assign a resistivity and wire lenght to the connector as a stereotype.

And the source of the wire(connector) has a stereotype which mentions a CurrentValue.

Now, suppose there are 10 connections in the model. I want to scan all the connectors in the model; I use following:

connectors = find(modelObj, constraintforConnector , ElementType = "Connector");

Now that I have connectors I want its source port and destination port address and I want to access the properties of the these ports. How can I do it?

Hi @Sarvesh,

If the connector is between input/output ports then you can use the SourcePort and DestinationPort properties of the connector handle.

https://www.mathworks.com/help/systemcomposer/ref/systemcomposer.arch.connector.html

If the connector is between physical ports, then you can use the Ports property of the connector handle (physical ports are non-directional).

https://mathworks.com/help/systemcomposer/ref/systemcomposer.arch.physicalconnector.html

model = systemcomposer.loadModel('arch1');
constraint = systemcomposer.query.AnyComponent; % "Select All"
connectors = find(model, constraint, ElementType="Connector");

for connectorIdx = 1:numel(connectors)
    connector = connectors(connectorIdx);
    if isa(connector, 'systemcomposer.arch.PhysicalConnector')
        connector.Ports
    else
        connector.SourcePort
        connector.DestinationPort
    end
end

Regards,

Josh

Perfect. Thanks, I ultimately ended up doing the same thing.

I struggled a bit to get the basic properties of the connector than I got to know it is just connector.SourcePort. Made life easy.

Thanks again!

No problem, glad to hear you are unblocked.
