MATLAB: I have a problem when I open the simulink file.

encodingsimulinktag

When I open the simulink file, I have a problem.

When I open the simulink file, I see next message.

Error using ==> open at 162. File "D:\….\…\simulation.mdl' contains characters which are incompatible with the current character encoding, windows-949. To avoid this error, do one of the following: 1) Use the sICharacterEncoding function to change the current character encoding to one of: windows-1252, ISO-8859-1. 2) Remove the unsupported characters. The first unsupported character is at line 28, byte offset 21.

I want to solve this problem.

So, I reinstalled MATLAB. But,problem is not solved. And, I searched about this from internet. In internet, I saw that somebody recommend to type some sentences in command window. That sentences is ==> slCharacterEncoding('ISO-8859-1') or slCharacterEncoding('Windows-1252')

When I typed this sentences, the message is Error using ==> open at 99 File 'D:\….\…\simulation.mdl"not found.

So, This problem was not solved.

And, From some site, I saw some sentences. That is When saving the model, the system may print the following error:

??? File "C:\\Simulink\\mts.mdl" contains characters which are incompatible with the current character encoding, windows-1251. To avoid this error, do one of the following: 1) Use the slCharacterEncoding function to change the current character encoding to one of: Shift_JIS, windows-1252, ISO-8859-1. 2) Remove the unsupported characters. The first unsupported character is at line 23, byte offset 15.

To eliminate this, you simply need to close all of the models' windows, and change the encoding by using the following commands:

bdclose all set_param(0, 'CharacterEncoding', 'windows-1252');

I also type the bdclose all…. But, My problem was not solved.

So,Anyone can help me? I want to smoebody help!

When sombody know the solution, Please send the email to me or response this question in here. (My emaail address : jhj2531@gmail.com)

That's not very clear, but it seems that you need to change the character encoding. Have a look at the following pages from the documentation:

MATLAB: Do I receive character incompatibility errors when loading a model in Simulink 6.0 (R14)

This bug has been fixed for Release 14 (R14). For previous releases, please read below for any possible workarounds:

In order for the Simulink to correctly handle strings containing non-ASCII characters, the model loader will pre-scan an MDL-file for non-ASCII characters. If any such characters are found and are inconsistent with the current MATLAB encoding setting, model loading will stop and the warning described above will be displayed.

The SLCHARACTERENCODING function forces Simulink to use a different character encoding than the one that MATLAB is using. If it is likely that the extended characters come from a European character set, use the command:

slCharacterEncoding('ISO-8859-1');

If it is likely that the extended characters come from an Asian character set, use the command:

slCharacterEncoding('Shift_JIS');

This command will only be active for the current MATLAB session. If you will frequently be loading models from a non-ASCII character set, you should place this command in your startup.m file so that it is loaded every time that MATLAB is started. See the following URL for more information on how to do this:

http://www.mathworks.com/access/helpdesk/help/techdoc/ref/startup.shtml

Note that the documentation for SLCHARACTERENCODING command is missing in Simulink 6.0 (R14). The following is the documentation for SLCHARACTERENCODING.

 SLCHARACTERENCODING: Change the MATLAB character set encoding. 
If you have a model containing non-ASCII characters, you need to change the MATLAB 
 character set encoding to be compatible with these characters before loading the model.  
 Currently, we support: US-ASCII, UTF-8, Shift_JIS, ISO-8859-1.
    Note: You need to close all open models or libraries before changing the MATLAB
    character set encoding except when changing from 'US-ASCII' to another encoding.
    Examples:
    slCharacterEncoding()                  % return the current MATLAB character
                                                          % set encoding
    slCharacterEncoding('Shift_JIS')       % change the MATLAB character set encoding
                                                                % to Shift_JIS

MATLAB: Menu of Simulink is gibberish when changing character encoding to open Simulink model made in foreign country

There are two ways to solve this problem.

1. Change a locale of OS to the country where a model is made. To change the locale on Windows machine:

Select Start -> Control Panel -> Clock, Language, and Region -> Regional and Language.

Open Formats tab.

Select a target locale from the Format: drop-down list.

2. Delete the characters not supported in the Character Encoding.

This is a way to delete the characters from a model.

(1) Remember error message "・・・Line 123 , 45 bytes" when opening Simulink mode.

(2) Open Simulink model by MATLAB editor, and look for Line 123, 45 bytes. If you find specific character, delete it and save it as ".mdl" file.

(3) Open the model made by (2).

Do the procedure (1)-(3) until all the error are resolved.

Finally, open the model again by MATLAB editor. Find character "SavedCharacterEncoding", and change the value as following, and save it.

SavedCharacterEncoding  "Shift_JIS"
