Find model references within model references

Hello,

I'm trying to find a model reference within a large simulink model which contains multiple model references, often also model references within model references.

Given the name of the model referenced, how do I get the path (within the simulink model) to that model block?

I know the function

[models,blocks] = find_mdlrefs(system)

but it doesn't connect the model name to the model block.

I also tried

modelBlock = find_system(sysName, 'BlockType', 'ModelReference');

but it only returns the highest level model references but not those within other model references.

Can you help me?

thanks!

Find system has several options. Since you said it only returns the highest model references, you can change the SearchDepth of the find_system function.

Also you can change LookUnderMask, Variants properties of the find_system function to find your model. I haven't tried 'FindAll" option but maybe it solves your problem.

It is my understanding that you would like to get the path names of a particular model reference in your large Simulink model.

I’d suggest to use the find_mdlrefs() method, which returns all the model reference blocks in the hierarchy. Further, you may iterate through the array to find the required model.

getfullname(), get_param() and getSimulinkBlockHandle() can prove useful for your issue.
