Model Advisor Checks for MAB Modeling Guidelines

This table identifies the Model Advisor checks that you can use to verify compliance of your model with MathWorks® Advisor Board (MAB) modeling guidelines.

In the Model Advisor, to access the MAB checks, select:

  • By Product > Simulink Check > Modeling Standards > MAB Checks

  • By Task > Modeling Standards for MAB

You need Simulink® Check™ to execute these checks.

Note

Some guidelines do not have corresponding Model Advisor checks:

  • No check — Indicates that the guideline can be checked by using a Model Advisor check, however, the check does not currently exist.

  • Not checkable — Indicates that it is not possible to verify compliance to this guideline by using a Model Advisor check.
