MATLAB: How to ensure shared code generated from top-level model or just model reference is in the same location and layout

Question

I am trying to make sure that shared code that is generated for my top-level model has the same names and file locations when I generate code for just one of the model references. Is there a setting that I can use to achieve it?

Answer 1

Yes, there is a specific setting that will allow you to do this.

When generating code from the reference model only:

1. Open the Configuration Parameters

2. Search for "Shared Code Placement"

3. Click on it and change the option to "Shared location"

4. Generate code

Now you should see the same shared utilities code as when building the top-level model. For reference, here is the documentation that specifies the setting:
