Algorithm (Workflow)
This function, smbConvertSubsystem, is designed to convert a list of Simulink blocks into a subsystem. It is part of the SimMechanics library and was created by Tim Lueth. Below is a detailed explanation of the algorithm and its parameters.
Input Parameters
- SSName: The name of the subsystem to be created.
- blocks: A list of blocks that will be included in the subsystem.
Algorithm Steps
- Initialize an empty array
bh to store block handles.
- Iterate over each block in the
blocks list:
- Retrieve the handle of each block using
get_param and append it to bh.
- Create a subsystem from the collected block handles using
Simulink.BlockDiagram.createSubSystem.
- Set the name of the newly created subsystem to
SSName using set_param.
- Adjust the position of the subsystem using
smbSetPosition and smbNewGridPos.
- Assign the current block handle to
h using gcb (get current block).
- If the MATLAB version is at least R2020, call
smbfindPMIOPort to rename PMIO ports as needed.
Additional Notes
The function is part of a larger library and interacts with other functions such as smbCreateSubsystem and smbExpandSubsystem. It is designed to work with Simulink models and requires specific MATLAB versions for certain features.
