Algorithm (Workflow)
This function, smbSysPortLineTable, is designed to return a table of blocks and their port connections within a SimMechanics model. The function is authored by Tim Lueth and was created on November 11, 2016.
Input Parameters
- SName: The name of the SimMechanics system or model. If not provided, the function defaults to the current system using
gcs (get current system).
Output Results
- bht: A cell array containing information about each block and its port connections.
Algorithm Steps
- Check if the input parameter
SName is provided. If not, set SName to the current system using gcs.
- Use
find_system to get all blocks in the specified system SName with a search depth of 1, meaning only top-level blocks are considered.
- Determine the number of blocks
nb and initialize a cell array bht with nb rows and 6 columns.
- For each block, store the block name and its handle in the first two columns of
bht.
- For each block (starting from the second block), retrieve the port handles using
get_param and store the left and right connection handles in columns 3 and 4 of bht.
- Retrieve the port connectivity information and concatenate the port types into a string
t.
- Determine the left and right port types by searching for
'/L' and '/R' in the string t. Store these in columns 5 and 6 of bht.
