Help to convert a slx file to a previous version!

Hello,

I want to run a slx file on my MATLAB R2016b version but the file is produced on R2018b. So can anypne help to convert it for a previous version for me?

P.S. It is not a commercial file, so don't worry about it.

Bro I have an solution to it.

Open matlab Online in your browser open file you want to convert using the upload as shown below in the screen shot.

Then in simulink under save as shown in screen shotimmediately below. Export with ur version.

[Walter Roberson]

ah I didn't think Simulink was supported yet

[Vaishnavi V]

Yes, its worked, Thank you.

[Walter Roberson]

I have seen posted a completely different work-around, a Simulink setting that permits you to import from newer versions, more or less by turning off the error check. However, when that was done, any changes in model representation would not be applied in a backwards-compatible way; for example initializations might not be moved from their newer locations to their previous locations. Using the official export to previous version tool is more robust.

exportToVersion

(Can also be accessed from the file menu > export > to previous version)

[Ahmed Gad]

The problem is that my version is R2016b, so I cannot even load the slx on it.

[Sean de Wolski]

You can open slx in 16b but it has to be slx from 16b or earlier. You'll need the 2018b author to export it to you, point them to the information in my answer.

[Ahmed Gad]

I am sorry, but I don't know how to point them. Would you mind helping me in that?

[Sean de Wolski]

Just send them a link to the doc above and ask them to export it for you.

[Ahmed Gad]

I need a contact for them, I am new to this community and don't know how to deal with that issues.

I am sorry for annoying you a lot and thanks so much for your assistance.

[Sean de Wolski]

Welcome!

You're kind of in an unfortunate situation. If you don't know who the author is then you'll need to either install 18b or find someone with 18b (who has all of the requisite toolboxes) to export it for you.

[Ahmed Gad]

Okay, I will try to find someone to convert this file as installing this version isn't possible at all.

Thank you so much for your efforts and concern.

hello plz can u convert file for me.

thank you

[Walter Roberson]

@Swapnil Sarwade

Are you able to attach the file here, and indicate which version you need it converted to?

[Mykola Hrebenyuk]

Hello! Can you contact me please.

Phone number [removed].

I realy need your help.

[Rik]

@Mykola Hrebenyuk You should post your question here instead of your phone number. If you're able to attach the file your need to convert, you can also ask for a conversion that way.

[Mykola Hrebenyuk]

I posted my phone number because this thread's author did the same.

I attached 2 files that needs to be converted from 2022 vers of matlab to R2019b version. I would be really grateful to everyone wo can help.

[Walter Roberson]

@Mykola Hrebenyuk

Those are both copyright Mathworks. The first one, File1.slx in particular is quite incomplete in the form you posted.

Where did you find them? Perhaps the context contains enough information to make them useable.

[Mykola Hrebenyuk]

Walter Roberson

I downloaded them from the official site, but I cannot open them.

[Saj Zurm]

Hello anyone please help convert For me This File to Version 2016a

[Walter Roberson]

@Saj Zurm it looks like that was added in R2021a. I worry that your R2016a version might not have some of the needed components.

[Saj Zurm]

Ohh Have you Converted It Yet

[Walter Roberson]

@Saj Zurm

No. I hesitate to convert copyrighted Mathworks models.

I used Chrome and Firefox to access MATLAB online. Each time I tried to upload

some MATLAB Simulink file I got "upload failed" error. Once, I switched into Microsoft Edge

as, the upload was succeeded.
