Algorithm (Workflow)
This function, smbGetAllLines, is designed to retrieve a list of connections between blocks and ports in a Simulink model. It is part of the SolidGeometry library and was introduced in version 3.0.
Input Parameters
- Block: This can be a single block, a list of blocks, or a system within a Simulink model. If no input is provided, the function defaults to the current system using
gcs (get current system).
Output Results
- LL: A list of connections, formatted as an
n x 4 cell array. Each row represents a connection with the following columns:
- Source Block Name
- Source Port
- Destination Block Name
- Destination Port
Algorithm Steps
- Check if the
Block parameter is provided. If not, set Block to the current system using gcs.
- Initialize a cell array
LL with dimensions 1000 x 4 to store connection data, and a counter nc to track the number of connections.
- Retrieve the lines associated with the specified
Block using get_param(Block, 'Lines').
- Iterate over each line:
- Increment the connection counter
nc.
- Store the full name of the source block, source port, destination block, and destination port in the
LL array.
- After processing all lines, trim the
LL array to the number of connections found. If no connections are found, return an empty array.
