MATLAB: Change variable name in Stateflow model

model explorerrenamesimulinkstateflowvariablevariables

Is there a way to change a signal name that is referenced troughout a Stateflow model without having to go through the whole model and manually change its' name?

I figured it should do this automatically if I change the name in the Model Explorer but unfortunately not 🙁

It is possible to do "Search & Replace..." in a Stateflow chart. You can find this menu entry under the "Tools" menu or using the shortcut Ctrl+L; see this link http://www.mathworks.com/help/toolbox/stateflow/ug/f8-1016134.html . It worked nicely for me. I have Stateflow 6.5 (R2006b). Hope it works as you intended.

Simulink.findVars returns a list of simulink.variableusage objects.

This object has a "Source" property telling you where the variable comes form. Using that should allow you to only rename the variables you are looking for.

MATLAB: How to to locate all Stateflow 8.0 (R2012b) transitions with disconnected endpoints in a model

This can be done using the Stateflow API:

rt = sfroot;
modelHandle = rt.find('-isa','Simulink.BlockDiagram','$MODELNAME');
disconnectedTransitions = modelHandle.find('-isa','Stateflow.Transition','-and','Destination',[]);

The variable disconnectedTransitions will be an array of Stateflow.Transition objects that are not connected to a destination object. These transitions should come from any Stateflow chart within the model. $MODELNAME in the above code should be replaced with the name the model containing the charts/transitions. The VIEW method of the Stateflow.Transition object can be used to view the location of specific transitions.
