Simulink.exportToTemplate

Create template from model or project

Syntax

templatefile = Simulink.exportToTemplate(obj,templatename)

templatefile = Simulink.exportToTemplate(obj,templatename,Name=Value)

Description

templatefile = Simulink.exportToTemplate(obj,templatename) creates a template file (templatename.sltx) from a model or project specified by obj.

templatefile = Simulink.exportToTemplate(obj,templatename,Name=Value) specifies additional template options as one or more name-value arguments.

Examples

Create Template from Model

Open the vdp model and create a template from it.

openExample("vdp.slx");
myvdptemplate = Simulink.exportToTemplate(bdroot,"vdptemplate")

Create Template from Model and Specify Description

Open the vdp model, create a template from it, and specify a description.

openExample("vdp.slx");
myvdptemplate = Simulink.exportToTemplate(bdroot,"vdptemplate", ...
                Description="Use this template to create a vdp model")

Input Arguments

obj — Model, library, or project

character vector | numeric handle | slproject.ProjectManager

Model, library, or project, specified by name or numeric handle, or a slproject.ProjectManager object returned by the currentProject function.

templatename — Template file name

string scalar | character vector

Template file name, specified as a string scalar or a character vector. The filename can optionally include the fully-qualified path to a template file and *.sltx extension.

Data Types: char | string

Name-Value Arguments

Specify optional pairs of arguments as Name1=Value1,...,NameN=ValueN, where Name is the argument name and Value is the corresponding value. Name-value arguments must appear after other arguments, but the order of the pairs does not matter.

Example: Simulink.exportToTemplate(bdroot,"modeltemplate",Description="Standard model template")

Group — Group of template

string scalar | character vector

Tips

If you have project templates created in R2014a or earlier (.zip files), use Simulink.exportToTemplate to upgrade them to .sltx files. Then, you can use the templates in the Start Page.
