Hello Chris,
I understand that you are trying to distinguish between reference models and reference subsystems at the model level. Ther’s no direct function to differentiate between these two, there are certain characteristics unique to each that might be used for this purpose:
- Model Reference: These have fixed signal interfaces, such as data types and signal dimensions. They can also have their own Configuration Parameters and Model Workspace. These models are typically used to represent reusable components or subsystems that are referenced by other models.
- Subsystem Reference: The interfaces for these do not need to be fixed. They do not have their own Configuration Parameters and Model Workspace, instead inheriting these from the parent model.
By examining these characteristics, you can programmatically differentiate between reference models and reference subsystems. You can check if a block has fixed signal interfaces, Configuration Parameters, and a separate Model Workspace to identify it as a reference model. Conversely, if a block inherits its interfaces and does not have its own Configuration Parameters and Model Workspace, it is likely a reference subsystem.
I hope this helps!
