MATLAB: Read BlockType of SimscapeBlocks

Question

Hello I try to read some parameters with MATLAB out of my Simulink file. I do so by the following code

load_system(x);
Blocktypes = get_param(find_system(x,'Type','Block'),'BlockType');

But if i use some kind of Simscape Block in Simulink, i get only 'SimscapeBlock' as result. Is it possible to find out which kind of Simscapeblock is used? This …

load_system(x);
Blocktypes = get_param(find_system(x,'Type','Block'),'Name');

… is no solution because I changed all the original names!

Thanks in Advanced! Cedric

Looks like the ClassName block parameter might return what you want. For example:

>> get_param(gcb,'ClassName')
ans =
dc_voltage_source
