Dependency Analysis

Find required files, perform impact analysis

Projects help you to organize large modeling projects by finding required files, managing and sharing files and settings, and interacting with source control. See What Are Projects?.

Functions

Examples and How To

Project Dependency Analysis

Run Dependency Analysis

Find required files for a whole project or for specified files, and control options for external toolboxes and incremental analysis.

Perform Impact Analysis

Visualize dependencies in a project, assess the impact of changing selected files, find required toolboxes, and run test files.

Check Dependency Results and Resolve Problems

How to fix problems in dependency results using the project Impact graph or table view.

Find Requirements Documents in a Project

View and open requirements documents in a project, linked using the Requirements Management Interface, visualize dependencies, and find specific blocks containing requirements links.

Save, Open, and Compare Dependency Analysis Results

Save results in a file to view and compare without repeating the dependency analysis.

Model Dependency Analysis

Analyze Model Dependencies

Find required files for a single model, create manifests and reports, programmatically check for file and toolbox dependencies, and package required files.

Model Dependency Viewer

How to view libraries, subsystems, and models referenced by your model.

Concepts

What Is Dependency Analysis?

Discover required files and toolboxes for a whole project or for a single model.

Featured Examples

Perform Impact Analysis with a Project

Use the project dependency analysis tools to perform file-level impact analysis. Starting with an existing project that uses Git source control, this example shows how to determine which files are impacted by modifications to the project. This workflow can help you find and run the tests needed to validate a change to your design.
