MATLAB: Can the code-generation parameters of a protected model be changed after protection

Question

I'm receiving a protected Simulink model and I'd like to edit the code-generation parameters prior to building my top-level system.

Using a dummy model, I've tried attaching a configuration reference file to the protected system prior to protecting it, in hopes that I could edit the parameters in the reference and affect the protected model. This didn't seem to work. Any changes I made to the configuration reference file after protection didn't seem to affect the protected model.

Is there any way to change the configuration parameters of a protected model (specifically the code-generation options)?

Hi Casey,

It is not possible to alter a model once it has been protected since that would defeat the purpose of protecting it. This includes code-generation configuration parameters.

In R2015a, it is possible to include multiple targets in a protected model. Each target is identified by its System Target File. Thus you could potentially have two targets, each configured differently, inside the same protected model. This might help solve your issue.
