Examples

Modify Parameters for Axle Architecture

This example shows a wheel axle architecture model with instance-specific parameters exposed in System Composer™. These parameters are defined as model arguments on the Simulink® reference model used as a model behavior linked to two System Composer components. You can change the values of these parameters independently on each reference component.

To add parameters to the architecture model or components, use the Parameter Editor. To remove these parameters, delete them from the Parameter Editor.

Open the architecture model of the wheel axle mAxleArch to interact with the parameters on the reference components using the Property Inspector.

model = systemcomposer.openModel("mAxleArch");

Look up the Component objects for the RightWheel and LeftWheel components.

rightWheelComp = lookup(model,Path="mAxleArch/RightWheel");
leftWheelComp = lookup(model,Path="mAxleArch/LeftWheel");

Get the parameter names for the RightWheel component. Since the LeftWheel component is linked to the same reference model mWheel, the parameters are the same on the LeftWheel component.

paramNames = rightWheelComp.getParameterNames

paramNames = 1x3 string
    "Diameter"    "Pressure"    "Wear"

Get the Pressure parameter on the RightWheel component architecture.

paramPressure = rightWheelComp.Architecture.getParameter(paramNames(2));

Display the value type for the Pressure parameter.

paramPressure.Type

ans = 
  ValueType with properties:

           Name: 'Pressure'
       DataType: 'double'
     Dimensions: '[1  1]'
          Units: 'psi'
     Complexity: 'real'
        Minimum: ''
        Maximum: ''
    Description: ''
          Owner: [1x1 systemcomposer.arch.Architecture]
          Model: [1x1 systemcomposer.arch.Model]
           UUID: '47c2446a-f6b0-4710-9a73-7ed25d1671c4'
    ExternalUID: ''

Get the RightWheel component parameter values.

for i = 1:length(paramNames)
    paramName = paramNames(i)
    [paramValue,paramUnits,isDefault] = rightWheelComp.getParameterValue(paramNames(i))
end

paramName = 
"Diameter"

paramValue = 
'16'

paramUnits = 
'in'

isDefault = logical
   1

paramName = 
"Pressure"

paramName = 
"Wear"

paramValue = 
'0.25'

paramUnits = 
'in'

isDefault = logical
   1

Get the LeftWheel component parameter values.

for i = 1:length(paramNames)
    paramName = paramNames(i)
    [paramValue,paramUnits,isDefault] = leftWheelComp.getParameterValue(paramNames(i))
end

paramName = 
"Diameter"

paramValue = 
'16'

First, check the evaluated RightWheel parameters.

for i = 1:length(paramNames)
    paramName = paramNames(i)
    [paramValue,paramUnits] = rightWheelComp.getEvaluatedParameterValue(paramNames(i))
end

paramName = 
"Diameter"

paramValue = 16

paramUnits = 
'in'

paramName = 
"Pressure"

paramValue = 31

paramUnits = 
'psi'

paramName = 
"Wear"

paramValue = 0.2500

paramUnits = 
'in'

Check the evaluated LeftWheel parameters.

for i = 1:length(paramNames)
    paramName = paramNames(i)
    [paramValue,paramUnits] = leftWheelComp.getEvaluatedParameterValue(paramNames(i))

paramName = 
"Diameter"

paramValue = 16

paramUnits = 
'in'

paramName = 
"Pressure"

paramValue = 32

paramUnits =

'32'

paramUnits = 
'psi'

isDefault = logical
   1

[paramValue,paramUnits,isDefault] = leftWheelComp.getParameterValue("Pressure")

paramValue = 
'34'

paramUnits = 
'psi'

isDefault = logical
   0

Revert the Pressure parameter on LeftWheel to its default value.

leftWheelComp.resetParameterToDefault("Pressure")

Check the reverted values for the pressure on LeftWheel.

[paramValue,paramUnits,isDefault] = leftWheelComp.getParameterValue("Pressure")

paramValue = 
'32'

paramUnits = 
'psi'

isDefault = logical
   1

Promote the Pressure parameter on the LeftWheel component.

addParameter(model.Architecture,Path="mAxleArch/LeftWheel",Parameters="Pressure");

Get the promoted Pressure parameter from the root architecture of the mAxleArch model.

pressureParam = model.Architecture.getParameter("LeftWheel.Pressure");

Adjust the value of the promoted Pressure parameter.

pressureParam.Value = "30";
pressureParam

pressureParam =

Term	Definition	Application	More Information
architecture	A System Composer™ architecture represents a system of components and how they interface with each other structurally and behaviorally.	Different types of architectures describe different aspects of systems. You can use views to visualize a subset of components in an architecture. You can define parameters on the architecture level using the Parameter Editor.	Compose Architectures Visually Author Parameters in System Composer Using Parameter Editor
model	A System Composer model is the file that contains architectural information, including components, ports, connectors, interfaces, and behaviors.	Perform operations on a model: Extract the root-level architecture contained in the model. Apply profiles. Link interface data dictionaries. Generate instances from model architecture. A System Composer model is stored as an SLX file.	Create Architecture Model with Interfaces and Requirement Links
component	A component is a nontrivial, nearly independent, and replaceable part of a system that fulfills a clear function in the context of an architecture. A component defines an architectural element, such as a function, a system, hardware, software, or other conceptual entity. A component can also be a subsystem or subfunction.	Represented as a block, a component is a part of an architecture model that can be separated into reusable artifacts. Transfer information between components with: Port interfaces using the Interface Editor Parameters using the Parameter Editor	Components
port	A port is a node on a component or architecture that represents a point of interaction with its environment. A port permits the flow of information to and from other components or systems.	There are different types of ports: Component ports are interaction points on the component to other components. Architecture ports are ports on the boundary of the system, whether the boundary is within a component or the overall architecture model.	Ports
connector	Connectors are lines that provide connections between ports. Connectors describe how information flows between components or architectures.	A connector allows two components to interact without defining the nature of the interaction. Set an interface on a port to define how the components interact.	Connections

reference component	A reference component is a component whose definition is a separate architecture model, Simulink® behavior model, or Simulink subsystem behavior. A reference component represents a logical hierarchy of other compositions.	You can reuse compositions in the model using reference components. There are three types of reference components: Model references are Simulink models. Subsystem references are Simulink subsystems. Architecture references are System Composer architecture models or subsystems.	Implement Component Behavior Using Simulink Create Architecture Reference
parameter	A parameter is an instance-specific value of a value type.	Parameters are available for inlined architectures and components. Parameters are also available for components linked to model references or architecture references that specify model arguments. You can specify independent values for a parameter on each component.	Author Parameters in System Composer Using Parameter Editor Access Model Arguments as Parameters on Reference Components Use Parameters to Store Instance Values with Components
subsystem component	A subsystem component is a Simulink subsystem that is part of the parent System Composer architecture model.	Add Simulink subsystem behavior to a component to author a subsystem component in System Composer. You cannot synchronize and reuse subsystem components as Reference Component blocks because the component is part of the parent model.
