How can I count the number of non virtual blocks in my model?

Hi Donald,

To count number of "Nonvirtual" blocks within a model, you can leverage the "find_system" function and its options through the following steps:

1. Get the list of model references within the model:

mdlRefs = find_mdlrefs('Your_Model_Name');

2. Load all the models within the list and run the following command for each model (change the index and model name for each run):

nvBlockCount(1) = length(find_system(mdlRefs{1}, 'LookUnderMasks', 'on', 'FollowLinks', 'on', 'Virtual', 'off'));

3. Sum the count provided from each model to get the total number of "Nonvirtual" blocks:

totalNVBlockCount = sum(nvBlockCount);

Note that you can also use the "cellfun" command as an alternative to Steps 2 and 3 to simplify this workflow:

totalNVBlockCount = sum(cellfun(@(mdlName) length(find_system(mdlName, 'LookUnderMasks', 'on', 'FollowLinks', 'on','Virtual', 'off')), mdlRefs));

You can find the documentation for "find_system" and "find_mdlrefs" for your reference in the following links:

Hope it helps.
