MATLAB: How to get the updated name after add_block command with MakeNameUnique and with duplicate name

add_blockmatlab script

If I am adding a block by add_block command with MakeNameUnique as 'On', the command will change the name if it is duplicate. I am using this command in script. My question is, is there any way to know by script the updated new name given by add_block command.

add_block's output will be the handle of the newly added block. From this, the name of the newly inserted block can be found out.

eg;

blockHandle = add_block(gcb, gcb, 'MakeNameUnique', 'on');

get_param(blockHandle , 'Name')

MATLAB: Is it possible to add a “configurable subsystem” in a library using add_block command

Hi,

here is a piece of code I use :

function test_add()
model = bdroot(gcb);
config_subsystem = strcat(model, '/config_subsystem');
add_block('configurable_subsystem/template',config_subsystem,...
    'Position', [480, 104, 580, 146]);
set_param(config_subsystem,'MemberBlocks', 'config_1, config_2, config_3');
set_param(config_subsystem,'BlockChoice', 'config_1');
end

I put a configurable subsystem named "template" in a library named "configurable_subsystem.mdl". "template" block is not configured.

I can add it to my library (it contains 3 subsystems named "config_1", "config_2", "config_3") but I can not configure it.

error message is :

??? Error using ==> set_param Cannot set member block list for configurable subsystem instance 'my_lib/config_subsystem'.

Error in ==> test_add at 10 set_param(config_subsystem,'MemberBlocks', 'config_1, config_2, config_3');

Thank you for help.

MATLAB: How to get simulink library and block names for the add_block function

I bet this is because the Simulink library is not loaded. Try doing this first:

load_system('simulink');
