Simulink cache file won't open

Hi,

I have a file that Simulink saved as a cache file (.slxc). I don't recall saving it as such so first, why does it save to this format? Second, the file won't open anymore. The following error pops up:

Simulink cache for filename

This Simulink cache contains derived files for the following releases and platforms:

R2018b : all platforms

Variable usage information Yes

Is there a way to correct this or open the file? It's not opening in 2018b or 2019b

I had this same problem. When you receive that pop-up, you can click on your filename. Your simulink model should appear.

That is the correct behavior.

.slxc files are Simulink cache files. These files contain build artifacts that can speed up simulation and code generation.

When any changes are made to the model, only the edited files are built based on if the Rebuild configuration parameter is set accordingly.

How can we actually open such files tho? I seem to be having some trouble

[Roberto Louis Moran]

So..... what do I do with this information?????

[ajn is ajgm and]

change to slx

[Henry Kerr]

So is there a way of accessing the slx file version?

That doesn't really help. How do we change it back to slx
