Simulink.ConfigSetRef

Link model to freestanding configuration set

Description

Use the ConfigSetRef object to allow a model to reference configuration sets that are not saved in a model.

The Simulink.ConfigSetRef object is a handle object.

Creation

Create a ConfigSetRef object by using the getConfigSet function to call a model configuration reference by name.

Properties

Description — Description of configuration reference

character vector

Description of the configuration reference, specified as a character vector. Use this property to provide additional information about a configuration reference, such as its purpose. This field can remain blank.

Name — Name of configuration reference

character vector

Name of the configuration reference, specified as a character vector. This name represents the configuration reference in the Model Explorer.

SourceName — Variable that contains referenced configuration set

character vector

Name of the variable in the workspace or the data dictionary that contains the referenced configuration set, specified as a character vector.

Object Functions

copy	Copy configuration set or reference
get_param	Get parameter names and values

Examples

Create and Reference a Freestanding Configuration Set

Use a ConfigSetRef object to allow a model to use a freestanding configuration set, which is not associated with a model.

Open the model vdp. Create a freestanding configuration set by copying the configuration set of the model.

openExample('simulink_general/VanDerPolOscillatorExample');
model = 'vdp';
freeConfigSet = copy(getActiveConfigSet(model));

Create a configuration reference. To point the reference to your freestanding configuration, set the SourceName property to freeConfigSet, the base workspace variable that represents your configuration. Name the reference vdpConfigRef.

configRef = Simulink.ConfigSetRef;
set_param(configRef,'SourceName','freeConfigSet');
set_param(configRef,'Name','vdpConfigRef');

Attach the configuration reference to the vdp model and activate it.

attachConfigSet('vdp',configRef);
setActiveConfigSet('vdp','vdpConfigRef');
