Component-based modeling enables efficient and robust system development, facilitates collaboration, and improves verification workflows. Large-scale systems typically use a combination of Simulink® model components.
For guidance defining model components, see Component-Based Modeling Guidelines.
For an example that shows model evolution, see Basic Modeling Workflow.
| Subsystem | Group blocks to create model hierarchy |
| Model | Reference another model to create model hierarchy |
| Variant Subsystem, Variant Model | Template subsystem containing Subsystem blocks or Model blocks as Variant choices |

| Referenced Files Pane | View, save, and close referenced subsystems and models |
Component-Based Modeling Guidelines
Consider componentization for large models and multiuser development teams.
Model a simple mechanical system, then scale the model for a collaborative component-based modeling project.
Projects can help you work with configuration management tools for team collaboration.
