Design Verifier Pane: Design Error Detection

Design Error Detection Pane Overview

Specify options that control how Simulink® Design Verifier™ detects runtime errors in the models it analyzes.

Dead logic (partial)

Specify whether to analyze your model for dead logic. This may result in a partial analysis. Select Run exhaustive analysis to always run an exhaustive analysis.

Settings

Default: Off

On

Reports dead logic identified in your model.

Off

Does not analyze for dead logic.

Command-Line Information

Parameter: DVDetectDeadLogic
Type: character array
Value: 'on' | 'off'
Default: 'off'

See Also

Run exhaustive analysis

Builds on the Dead logic (partial) check. Specify this option in order to run an exhaustive analysis for dead logic in the model.

Settings

Default: Off

On

Perform exhaustive analysis for dead logic in your model.

Off

Does not perform exhaustive analysis for dead logic in your model.

Command-Line Information

Parameter: DVDetectActiveLogic
Type: character array
Value: 'on' | 'off'
Default: 'off'

Dependency

This parameter is dependent upon Dead logic (partial) and works only when Dead logic (partial) is also enabled.

Specified block input range violations

Specify whether to analyze your model for block input range violations. The check detects input range violations for blocks with these settings:

Note

The check does not flag block input range violations for n-D Lookup Table blocks, when the Interpolation method is set to Akima spline or Cubic spline.

Note

The check does not flag block input range violations for Trigonometric Function blocks with CORDIC Approximation method, for which the Function parameter is atan2 and the data types of the input signals are double.

Settings

Default: Off

On

Reports block input range violations in your model.

Off

Does not report block input range violations in your model.

Command-Line Information

Parameter: DVDetectBlockInputRangeViolations
