Convert SimEvents^® models to SimEvents Version 5.0 or later

To take advantage of SimEvents features, migrate legacy SimEvents models (pre-R2016a).

Topics

Migration Considerations
Consider these reasons to migrate legacy SimEvents models.
Migration Workflow
Consider these migration workflow guidelines.
Identify and Redefine Entity Types
Identify entity types in the legacy model and redefine them in the new model.
Replace Old Blocks
Replace legacy SimEvents blocks with new SimEvents behavior.
Connect Signal Ports
Previous releases use Get Attribute blocks to output the values of entity attributes. SimEvents 5.0 is more closely tied to Simulink^®.
Write Event Actions for Legacy Models
When migrating legacy SimEvents models, you often must create event actions.
Observe Output
Observe output from your SimEvents model.
Reactive Ports
Convert all reactive port event signals from legacy models to messages.
