How to connect a Subsystem's outputPorts (more than 5) to "Bus Creator" programmatically (from scripting)

Hi, Suppose I have Subsystems block which has outputs more than 5.

I have added "Bus Creator" using:

add_block("simulink/Commonly Used Blocks/Bus Creator","testing_bus/Bus Creator")

This is creating Bus in testing_bus model with only 2 input ports. Is there a way to create a "Bus Creator" with number of inputs = Size of Subsystem's Outputports?

(or)

edit the number of input port of "Bus Creator" so that later using for loop, for connections by:

add_line('testing_bus','Subsystem/1','Bus Creator/1');

Hi Arepalli,

To add a new "Bus Creator" block with "n" number of Inputs, you can pass an additional name-value parameter in the "add_block" function as follows:

>> add_block("simulink/Commonly Used Blocks/Bus Creator","testing_bus/Bus Creator", "Inputs", "5");

This will create a Bus Creator block named "Bus Creator" with 5 input ports.

Similarly, to edit the number of ports in an existing block, you can pass this "Inputs" name-value parameter to the "set_param" function for a given block.

>> set_param("path_to_block", "Inputs", "7");

Thanks Suman, It worked perfectly
