Simulink.findBlocks

Find blocks in Simulink models

Syntax

bl = Simulink.findBlocks(sys)

bl = Simulink.findBlocks(sys,options)

bl = Simulink.findBlocks(sys,Param1,Value1,...,ParamN,ValueN)

bl = Simulink.findBlocks(sys,Param1,Value1,...,ParamN,ValueN,options)

Description

bl = Simulink.findBlocks(sys) returns handles to all blocks in the model or subsystem sys.

bl = Simulink.findBlocks(sys,options) finds blocks that match the criteria specified by a Simulink.FindOptions object.

bl = Simulink.findBlocks(sys,Param1,Value1,...,ParamN,ValueN) finds blocks whose block parameters have the specified values.

bl = Simulink.findBlocks(sys,Param1,Value1,...,ParamN,ValueN,options) finds blocks whose parameters have the specified values and that match the criteria specified by a FindOptions object.

Examples

Find Blocks in a Model

Return handles for all blocks in the model vdp.

   12.0001
   13.0001
   14.0001
   15.0001
   16.0001

Return block names.

bl = getfullname(Simulink.findBlocks('vdp'))

bl =

  12×1 cell array

    {'vdp/Fcn'                 }
    {'vdp/More Info'           }
    {'vdp/More Info/Model Info'}
    {'vdp/Mu'                  }
    {'vdp/Mux'                 }
    {'vdp/Product'             }
    {'vdp/Scope'               }
    {'vdp/Sum'                 }
    {'vdp/x1'                  }
    {'vdp/x2'                  }
    {'vdp/Out1'                }
    {'vdp/Out2'                }

Return block handles for the block whose name is Mu.

Simulink.findBlocks('vdp','Name','Mu')

ans =

    8.0001
