Model Reference Support for Model Loop Component

The Model Loop component has a new Model Reference option for automatically reporting on referenced models.

Improved XML Comparisons for Files with the Same Name

ComparisonsofXMLfilesexportedfrom Simulink models with the same name now only contain information about user changes to the files. In previous releases, the comparison process introduced confusing artificial changes to both files, such as file name changes. Comparing the XML exported from two versions of the same file is a commo n workflow when using Configuration Management tools. The XML comparison now produces better results for this workflow.

System Design Description Report

From the Simulink Model Editor, you can access a new System Design Description report. The report provides summary or detailed information about the syste m design represented by a model. You can specify report options using the report dialog box, or you can create a customized version of

Simulink®Report Generator™ Release Notes

the report using the Report Explorer. For details, see “Generating a System Design Description”.

Blocks Sortable by Model and Chart Layout

For looping components, you can sort blocks based on how the blocks are arranged in the model or chart. The two new sort blocks options are:

layout (left to right)

reflect the model or chart layout horizontally across rows or vertically down columns.

The components with these new block sorting options are:

• Block Loop

• Chart Loop

• Fixed Point Block Loop

• Fixed Point Summary Table

and By layout (top to bottom).Theseoptions

• Missing Requirements Block Loop

• Requirements Block Loop

• Requirements Summary Table

• Simulink Summary Table

• Stateflow Summary Table

Reporting Compiled Simulink Model Data

The new Compile model to report on compiled information report output option ensures that a report reflects compiled values for Simulink parameters. For details, see “Reporting Compiled Simulink Model Data” in the Simulink

Report Generator™ documentation.

New Components for the Requirements Management Interface

New components that support the Requirements Management Interface are:

Version 3.7 (R2009b) Simu link®Report Generator™ Software

• Missing Requirements Block Loop — Apply all child components to blocks

that do not have requirements

• Missing Requirements System Loop — Loop only on systems and

subsystems that do not have associated requirements

• Requirements Documents Table — Insert table of linked requirements

documents

• Requirements Signal Loop — Run child components for each signal with

requirements in current system, model, or block

Goto and From Block Information Added to Simulink Summary Table

The Simulink Summary Table component now reports additional information about Goto and From blocks.

For Goto block properties, the new columns are:

• From Blk — Name of the From block connected to the Goto block; this

name links to that b lock’s properties information in the report

• From Blk Location — Path to From block location in the model

For From block properties, the new columns are:

• Goto Blk N ame — Name of the Goto block connected to the From block;

this name links to that block’s properties information in the report

• Goto Blk Location — Path to Goto block location in the model

If a Goto or From block is not connected to a corresponding From or Goto block, you see "Unconnected" in the Goto or From block name and location columns.

Improved Images in Word and RTF Reports on Windows Platforms

To provide better graphics quality in reports using the W ord document format or RTF (Rich Text format) on Windows Handle Graphics format (the default was black and white TIFF).

platforms, the default format for

Simulink®Report Generator™ Release Notes

You can control the image format using the MATLAB preferences or the Simulink R eport Generator Preferences, or from snapshot components such as the Axes Snapshot component.

Compatibility Considerations

To change the image format back to the previous default of black and white TIFF, change the preferences.

Required Products Information for MATLAB/Toolbox Version Number Component

The MATLAB/Toolbox Version Number component now supports options to display information based on whether a Simulink model or Stateflow chart requires a M athWorks product.

Block Summary Table Link to Data Object Property Information

For Simulink data object variables, in the Block Summary table, the block variables column (third column) now provides a link from the variable name to the Simulink Functions and Variables table row for that variable. The Model Variables table includes information about the data object, such as the data type and the minimum and maximum values.

Navigation Controls for XML Comparison Report

The XML comparison report has new navigation controls to step through differences in the report. You can use the toolbar buttons or the XML menu to move to the next or previous group of changes. As you step through selected changes in the report, Simulink Report Generator can highlight the corresponding items in the original models.

Other usability improvements in the report include:

• Enhanced XML comparison algorithm with reduced memory consumption

• Improved matching results for many types of Simulink blocks and

Stateflow elements

• Ability to filter out nonfunctional differences in the comparison result

• Simplified toolbar and XML menu

Simulink Models Can Be Exported as Web Views

You can now create a Web view of a Simulink model or Stateflow chart. A Web view is an inter active rendition of the model or chart that you can view in a Web browser. A Web view uses Scalable V ector Graphics (SVG) to render and navigate a model.

Creating a W eb view requires the Simulink Report Generator product. Using a Web view in a Web browser requires SVG support in the browser, implemented natively or through a plug-in, but it does not require The MathWorks products to be installed.

Because they require only Web browsers with widely available SVG support, Web views are useful for presenting models to audiences and for sharing modelswithcolleagueswhodonothaveTheMathWorksproductsinstalled.

For details, see “Exporting Simulink Models to Web Views” in the Simulink Report Generator documentation.

Web views have these limitations in Firefox:

• There is no shortcut menu.

• When you move the mouse over exported systems and diagrams, they are

not highlighted, but the cursor changes.

• Fonts may be too large in some circumstances.

• Compressed SVG files are not supported.

Web views have these limitations in Internet Explorer with the SVG Viewer plug-in:

• In panning mode, the cursor does not change.

• On a Japanese Microsoft Windows system, you must edit the Windows

registry to obtain Japanese text in menus. Define this key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adobe SVG Viewer\version\Locale

substituting the version of your Adobe SVG Viewer plug-in for version. For example, if the plug-in version is 3.03, define this key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adobe SVG Viewer\3.03\Locale

Then, define a string value for this key. The value name is systemLanguage, and the value data is
