Replace blocks in a Simulink model.
Syntax
replace_block('sys', 'blk1', 'blk2', 'noprompt')
replace_block('sys', 'Parameter', 'value', 'blk', ...)
Description
replace_block('sys', 'blk1', 'blk2') replaces all blocks in 'sys' having the block or mask type 'blk1' with 'blk2'. If 'blk2' is a Simulink built-in block, only the block name is necessary. If 'blk' is in another system, its full block pathname is required. If 'noprompt' is omitted, Simulink displays a dialog box that asks you to select matching blocks before making the replacement. Specifying the 'noprompt' argument suppresses the dialog box from being displayed. If a return variable is specified, the paths of the replaced blocks are stored in that variable.
replace_block('sys', 'Parameter', 'value', ..., 'blk') replaces all blocks in 'sys' having the specified values for the specified parameters with 'blk'. You can specify any number of parameter name/value pairs.
| Note Because it may be difficult to undo the changes this command makes, it is a good idea to save your system first. |
Example
This command replaces all Gain blocks in the f14 system with Integrator blocks and stores the paths of the replaced blocks in RepNames. Simulink lists the matching blocks in a dialog box before making the replacement.
RepNames = replace_block('f14','Gain','Integrator')
This command replaces all blocks in the Unlocked subsystem in the clutch system having a Gain of 'bv' with the Integrator block. Simulink displays a dialog box listing the matching blocks before making the replacement.
replace_block('clutch/Unlocked','Gain','bv','Integrator')
This command replaces the Gain blocks in the f14 system with Integrator blocks but does not display the dialog box.
replace_block('f14','Gain','Integrator','noprompt')
