MATLAB: Copying a block and dynamically changing the name and sub block names.

blockdynamic nameMATLABset_paramsimulinkworkspace

I have several blocks, all of which contain a matlab script and input/outputs with To Workspace blocks to log the data. I would like to be able to copy a block, and dynamically when changing the copied block name, for the To Workspace variable name to change accordingly.

I know this can be done with a callback and set_param, but my problem is the block path: When copying/pasting a block, a new path is generated, but this new path is not considered in the callback, therefore it will only change the original block.

Is there a way to dynamically write the path of a block in a callback or code, such that if I copy and paste this block, the aforementioned situation works?

Thanks!

The question is not very clear. You might be able to use gcb, gcbh, getfullname().

MATLAB: What is the function of the undocumented block parameter “SourceBlock” for certain blocks in Simulink 6.6 (R2007a)

A block which is a library block, and has an unresolved library link is represented by a Bad Link block in a Simulink block diagram. Such a "Bad Link" block has the block property "SourceBlock" which refers to the missing library block. For example, if you change the library name from lib1 to lib2 then the following would work.

bad_links = find_system(model, 'LinkStatus', 'Unresolved');
sources   = get_param(bad_links, 'SourceBlock');
sources   = strrep(sources, ['lib1/'], ['lib2/']);

MATLAB: Is it possible to make input or output ports in Simulink to automatically take the name of the signal

There is a ConnectionCallback function which can be implemented for the port of the blocks. This callback is triggered every time connectivity to the port is changes.

Implement this callback for your input and output ports. Inside the callback, you can write the code to get the signal name to which port is connected using get_param() and set the port name using set_param().

See Port Callback.
