Syntax

[modelname,modelhandle,modelpath] = loadSystem(testCase,model)
[modelname,modelhandle,modelpath] = loadSystem(___,Name,Value)

Description

example

[modelname,modelhandle,modelpath] = loadSystem(testCase,model) loads the specified model and returns the name of the model, the model handle, and the path to the model.

loadSystem loads a Simulink model within the scope of a single TestCase method class. The life cycle of the model is tied to the test case. When the test case goes out of scope, the testing framework closes the model without saving any changes to the model and clears any base workspace variables loaded by the model. Previously loaded models remain loaded. Variable values of previously loaded models might be overridden if, for example, the model being opened has model callbacks. To retain the variable values of opened models, add PreservingBaseWorkspace as an input Name-Value pair.

example

[modelname,modelhandle,modelpath] = loadSystem(___,Name,Value) loads the model and test case with additional options specified by one or more Name,Value pairs.

Input Arguments

expand all

Instance of the test case, specified as an sltest.TestCase object.

Name of model to load, specified as a string or character vector.

Example: 'sltestCar'

Name-Value Pair Arguments

Specify optional comma-separated pairs of Name,Value arguments. Name is the argument name and Value is the corresponding value. Name must appear inside quotes. You can specify several name and value pair arguments in any order as Name1,Value1,...,NameN,ValueN.

Example: 'PreservingBaseWorkspace',true

Whether to preserve existing base workspace variable values, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'PreservingBaseWorkspace' and true or false.

Whether to load the model and its referenced models, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'IncludingReferencedModels' and true or false.

Output Arguments

expand all

Name of the loaded model, returned as a string or character vector. If 'IncludingReferencedModels' is true, then loadSystem returns the model name and the names of its referenced models.

Handle of the loaded model, returned as a string or character vector. If IncludeReferencedModels is true, returns the handle of the model and the handles of its referenced models.

Path of the loaded model, returned as a string or character vector. If IncludeReferencedModels is true, returns the path of the model and the paths of its referenced models.
