MATLAB: How to iterate through duplicated inports in MATLAB 2013b

Question

Dear Community,

I am creating a SIMULINK-model with MATLAB 2013b. I know how to iterate through inports of a block: %returns a handle for every inport all_system_inports = find_system('my_model','FindAll','On','BlockType','Inport');

If I add an inport by duplicating an existing inport and connect it to a block, the duplicated one is not listed in all_system_inports. My guess is, that a duplicated inport is not a real inport, but only a link.

I tried something like: get(all_system_inports,'LinkStatus'), but it doesn't work.

Really, how do I find duplicated inports?

Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

The "links" are so called Inport-Shadows

 inportShadows = find_system('my_model', 'FindAll', 'on', 'BlockType', 'InportShadow');

will return the "dublicated" Inports.
