Namespace: Simulink

(To be removed) Validate and activate variant blocks in a model hierarchy

validateModel will be removed in a future release. Use Simulink.VariantManager.activateModel instead.

Syntax

[valid,errors] = vcdataObj.validateModel(modelName)
[valid,errors] = vcdataObj.validateModel(modelName,configName)

Description

The validateModel method allows you to validate and activate a variant configuration on a model hierarchy. You can activate a named variant configuration defined for the model or the workspace configuration (temporary configuration in the base workspace or data dictionary used by the model).

The process validates if the variant elements in the model such as variant blocks, variant controls, constraints, and the variant configuration are set up correctly. Activating a configuration:

  • Checks if applicable constraints are satisfied

  • Applies the variant control variable values defined in the configuration on the model

  • Pushes the variant control variable values to the base workspace or data dictionary used by the model, for use in simulation and code generation workflows

[valid,errors] = vcdataObj.validateModel(modelName), where vcdataObj is an object of the Simulink.VariantConfigurationData class, returns the result of validating and activating the workspace configuration on the model hierarchy. The variant control variables must be defined in the base workspace or data dictionary used by the model.

[valid,errors] = vcdataObj.validateModel(modelName,configName) returns the result of validating and activating the specified named variant configuration on the model hierarchy.

Note

Activation of a variant configuration performed by this method differs from the Simulink® update diagram process. See Differences Between Variant Manager Activation and Update Diagram Process.
