Hi @Priya Mahalakshmi,

I see that you want to convert all the '.mdl' files in a folder to '.slx' files.

You can do so by using the following steps:

1. Get a list of all the '.mdl' files in a folder by using 'dir' and 'fullfile' functions of MATLAB

folderPath = 'PathToYourFolder';  
% Get a list of all .mdl files in the folder
mdlFiles = dir(fullfile(folderPath, '*.mdl'));

2. Loop through all the files and make necessary changes as listed in the code segment below

% Loop through each .mdl file
for k = 1:length(mdlFiles)
    % Get the name of the file with the extension
    mdlFileName = mdlFiles(k).name;
    % Remove the extension to get the model name without extension
    [~, modelName, ~] = fileparts(mdlFileName);
    % Load the model
    load_system(fullfile(folderPath, mdlFileName));
    % Save the model as a .slx file
    save_system(modelName, fullfile(folderPath, [modelName, '.slx']));
    % Close the model
    close_system(modelName, 0);
end

Kindly refer to the documentation of the functions used above for better understanding:

• 'fullfile' : https://www.mathworks.com/help/releases/R2021a/matlab/ref/fullfile.html
• 'load_system' : https://www.mathworks.com/help/releases/R2021a/simulink/slref/load_system.html
• 'save_system' : https://www.mathworks.com/help/releases/R2021a/simulink/slref/save_system.html
• 'close_system' : https://www.mathworks.com/help/releases/R2021a/simulink/slref/close_system.html

I hope this will help!
