How to list all the blocks in a model programmatically?

Is there a command to get all the blocks and their paths of a model in a list?

[MathWorks Support Team]

To get a list of all the blocks in a model programmatically, please execute the following commands in the command prompt:

>> load_system('model_name')
>> bl = getfullname(Simulink.findBlocks('model_name'))

For more information on using this function please refer to the following documentation:

The above "Simulink.findBlocks" command also finds the following types of blocks:

• Blocks under masks.
• Blocks that are commented out.
• Variants of blocks.

But this does not find blocks that are present inside a library linked block. To find such type of blocks you have to create a "findOptions" object and set the "FollowLinks" option to "true".
