Design Software Architectures
R2026bSystem Composer™ software architectures provide capabilities to author software architectures composed of software components, ports, and interfaces. Use System Composer to design your software architecture model, define the execution order of your functions from your components, simulate your design at the architecture level, and generate code.
Classes
