getLength

Get number of hierarchy levels in block path

Syntax

length = getLength(bp)

Description

length = getLength(bp) returns a numeric value that corresponds to the number of levels in the model reference hierarchy for the block path.

Examples

Get Number of Hierarchy Levels in Block Path

Create a Simulink.BlockPath object that represents a referenced model within a model hierarchy.

load_system('sldemo_mdlref_depgraph')
bp = Simulink.BlockPath({'sldemo_mdlref_depgraph/thermostat', ...
'sldemo_mdlref_heater/Fahrenheit to Celsius'});

Get the number of hierarchy levels in the block path for the Simulink.BlockPath object.

length = getLength(bp)

length =

     2

Input Arguments

bp — Fully specified block path

Simulink.BlockPath object

Fully specified block path, specified as a Simulink.BlockPath object. This block path uniquely identifies a block within a model hierarchy, even when the model hierarchy references the same model multiple times.

Output Arguments

length — Length of block path

integer

Length of the block path, returned as an integer. The length is the number of levels in the model reference hierarchy.
