Remove starting point for model slice

Syntax

removeStartingPoint(obj,StartingPoint)
removeStartingPoint(obj,PortHandle,busElementPath)

Description

removeStartingPoint(obj,StartingPoint) removes the starting point in StartingPoint from the model slice in obj for dependency analysis.

removeStartingPoint(obj,PortHandle,busElementPath) removes the starting point defined using the port handle in PortHandle and the bus element path in busElementPath. Removing a bus element also removes all its children added as starting points.

Input Arguments

Class containing Model Slicer configuration options.

Block or signal line from which the Model Slicer analysis is started.

The outport handle of a port emitting a bus.

The path for a bus element from which the Model Slicer analysis is started.

Examples

Remove Starting Point Using Blocks Handles

Open the model.

open_system('sldvSliceClimateControlExample');
obj = slslicer('sldvSliceClimateControlExample');

Remove a block handle as the starting point. To get the block handle, you can use the getSimulinkBlockHandle function.

blkH = get_param('sldvSliceClimateControlExample/Out1','Handle');
addStartingPoint(obj,blkH);
removeStartingPoint(obj,blkH);

To remove multiple block handles as the starting point, use a cell array.

blkH = {get_param('sldvSliceClimateControlExample/Out1','Handle'),...
    get_param('sldvSliceClimateControlExample/Out2','Handle')};
addStartingPoint(obj,blkH);
removeStartingPoint(obj,blkH);

Remove Bus Elements from Starting Points

Remove the bus element UpperSaturationLimit from the bus Limits as the starting point. This example shows how to first add UpperSaturationLimit.

openExample('simulink/ComponentInterfaceSpecificationUsingBusesExample')
obj = slslicer('CounterSystem');
ph = get_param('CounterSystem/Bus Creator2', 'PortHandles');
obj.addStartingPoint(ph.Outport, "Limits.UpperSaturationLimit");
obj.highlight;

Once you have added the bus element UpperSaturationLimit as a starting point, you can remove this bus element from the starting point by entering this command.

obj.removeStartingPoint(ph.Outport, "Limits.UpperSaturationLimit");
Removing the bus Limits from the starting point also removes its child UpperSaturationLimit from the starting point.

Remove Starting Point Using Block Paths

Remove a block path as the starting point.

bPath = {'sldvSliceClimateControlExample/Out1'};
removeStartingPoint(obj, bPath);

To remove multiple block paths from the starting point, use a cell array.

bPath = {'sldvSliceClimateControlExample/Out1',...
'sldvSliceClimateControlExample/Heater/HeaterAct'};
removeStartingPoint(obj, bPath);

Remove Starting Point Using Simulink Identifier

Remove a Simulink® Identifier (SID) as the starting point. To get the SID, use the Simulink.ID.getSID function.

removeStartingPoint(obj, 'sldvSliceClimateControlExample:39')

Remove Starting Point Using Line Handles

For the line that connects an Inport block to an Outport block, remove the line handle as the starting point. To get the line handle, use the get_param function.

 lh1 = get_param('sldvSliceClimateControlExample/Heater/Heat','LineHandles');
 lh2 = get_param('sldvSliceClimateControlExample/Heater','LineHandles');
 LineHs = [lh1.Inport(1), lh2.Outport(2)];
removeStartingPoint(obj,LineHs);

Alternatives

In the Simulink Editor, on the Apps tab, click Model Slicer. To remove a block, signal, or bus elements as the starting point, right-click the block, signal, or bus elements and in the Model Slicer app section , select the Remove Starting Points button .
