MATLAB: How to connect to an external server to get requirements documents in Simulink Validation and Verification Toolbox R2016a

andserverSimulink CheckSimulink Requirementstoolboxvalidationverification

I have requirements documents on an external server and I want a local model to link to them, but I don't see an option to link to files on a server in Link Editor. I may also want to perform some extra work like checking the files out from the server if a local copy is not available, but using a local copy if it is available. How do I do this?

To link file types or sources that are not included in the default set of link types you can create a custom link type in the Simulink Validation and Verification Toolbox. This gives the option of running arbitrary code that will execute when following links, which can perform server access operations or selectively search for files in multiple locations.

Refer to the following links for possible uses and an example of creating a custom link type.

MATLAB: How to programatically add requirements to blocks in a Simulink in Simulink Verification and Validation 2.4 (R2008b)

The RMI command is the Requirements Management Interface API. The documentation for this command can be reached using the following command:

 web([docroot,'/toolbox/slvnv/ug/rmi.html'])

The following MATLAB code is an example of how to use it:

reqlinks = rmi('createempty');  % Create an empty requirement structure
reqlinks.doc = 'MyDoc.docx';    % The document to be linked is MyDoc.docx
reqlinks.id = '?Req1';   % In the document, the requirement is "Req1"
reqlinks.description  = 'This is the description of my requirement'; % Description
reqlinks.reqsys = 'word';   % type of requirement, a word document
load_system('vdp');     % Load the Simulink
obj = 'vdp/Mu';     % The Simulink object we want to link to a requirement, the block named "Mu" in model "vdp.mdl"
rmi('set', obj, reqlinks);  % Accociate the requirement to the bloc

This code will link the requirement "Req1" located in the word file "MyWord.docx" to the block "Mu" located in vdp.mdl.

MATLAB: How to move all requirement links from the Simulink models to external files in Simulink Verification and Validation 3.0 (R2011b)

It is possible to move the requirement links in a model to an external file in Simulink Verification and Validation 3.0 (R2011b) by using the Tools > Requirements > Move to file ... option. Programmatically you can accomplish the same with the RMIDATA.EXPORT command.

The file available below can be used to move the requirement links from several models at once and also the models and libraries that are referenced in these models.
