Retrieve Simulink model input dimensions using matlab
显示 更早的评论
I am trying to use matlab to find an input signal block and get its allowed dimension. i am using the get_param function and thought using the compileddimension method would work, but the issue is that the input block at that state is just an input block, there are no associated dimensions of that block yet because the variable has not been created in the matlab workspace yet, but the model knows the allowed dimensions because it back propagates them from its downstream connections and i can see it in the line path of the model, yet the compileddimension method is blank. Can anyone help me on how to pull the allowed dimensions for a signal?

I think Simulink has a series of ways to determine the signal dimensions. Propagation takes higher priority than back propagation, or the priority is determined by settings in the block.
In your snapshot, the model has errors because workspace data has not been located yet. The model won't pass "model update" thus the compileddimension is invalid.
To get compileddimension, the model has to pass "model update".
To pass "model update", the data for the "From Workspace" blocks has to be located.

Each block has its own setting. Most block allows propagation, back propagation, or inherient, or to be explicitly specified. "From Workspace" is a source block. It doesn't have such an option. It has to be inherited from the data source.
If you are looking for the dimension infomation of a particular block along a pathway, maybe the best way is to specify that in the block. In certain situation, it is best to specify that in the block. It will be used as an "anchor" to make sure upstream or downstream dimension is correct.
In your snapshot, the "model update" is partially done but then stopped due to the error. The most info it can get for the dimension of the subsystem Inport block is from the back propagation. I guess the information is availble since it is displayed. But you were saying running get_param('block','compileddimension') returns blank after "model update". It sounds like you could use that info, even though you know that info is from back propagation and it could be wrong.
I suggest you making a simple example and sending to the Mathworks tech support to see if they can help you.
