Can I generate a protected model with a different name to the base model

I am using the Simulink.ModelReference.protect function for generating protected models. My model depends on a global variable 'NumberOfVehicles' for vector sizing, however this is burnt into the model when generating the protected model. I would therefore like to be able to generate a few different versions of the protected model, all generated from the same base model, having different settings for NumberOfVehicles. E.g. I have MyModel.slx, and I want to be able to generate;

MyModel_50Vehicles.slxp

MyModel_100Vehicles.slxp

MyModel_200Vehicles.slxp

However, the Simulink.ModelReference.protect only accepts the name of the model it's generating from and generates the protected model with the same name. Is there a nice* way of calling Simulink.ModelReference.protect such that I can independently set the name of the generated protected model?

*Clearly I could copy the base model with a new name for each model that I want to generate, but that does seem a little messy.

Hi Rohan,

A possible way is first to create variant models, https://se.mathworks.com/help/simulink/slref/variantsubsystemvariantmodel.html

each of them with the specific version of your model, and then create the protected version of all of them. I´m afraid you cannot change the name when creating a protected model.
