MATLAB: Do I receive the error ‘same file names packaged together in flat hierarchy’ when I build a model in R2016b

Question

Why do I receive the error 'same file names packaged together in flat hierarchy' when I build a model in R2016b?

Answer 1

In R2016b, the error appears if the current directory drive is not mentioned in capital letters. For example, 'd:\' instead of 'D:\'.

You can verify that the current directory drive appears in capital letters. For example, let us consider that the current working directory is mapped to 'H:\Example'. Prior to building the model, execute the following command in the MATLAB command window:

>> pwd

The above command identifies the current folder. If the value returned by 'pwd' is 'h:\Example', you will encounter an error. To resolve the issue, modify the current working directory to 'H:\Example'. 

Please note that the error appears only in R2016b.
