    Syntax

    addComponentConfiguration(vcdTop,ConfigurationName=topConfig,ComponentName=refMdl,ComponentConfigurationName=refConfig)

    Description

    Add-On Required: This feature requires the Variant Manager for Simulink add-on.

    Consider a variant model that has predefined variant configurations and also has a referenced model in its model hierarchy. In Variant Manager, a variant configuration for a top-level model must also define the variant control variables used by any referenced components in the model hierarchy, such as referenced models. If the referenced component defines its own variant configurations, you can use them to set up the control variables in the top-level configuration.

    Use the addComponentConfiguration function to associate a variant configuration of the referenced model with a variant configuration of the top-level model. This operation adds the control variables present in the specified component configuration to the top-level model configuration. This function thus allows you to author a top-model configuration using referenced component configurations. For more information on this workflow, see Compose Variant Configurations and Constraints for Top Model Using Referenced Component Configurations.

    addComponentConfiguration(vcdTop,ConfigurationName=topConfig,ComponentName=refMdl,ComponentConfigurationName=refConfig) associates the variant configuration refConfig of the referenced model refMdl with the top-level variant configuration topConfig that is present in the variant configuration data object vcdTop.

    This operation populates topConfig with variant control variables from refConfig. That is, topConfig contains all variant control variables that are in refConfig, these variables are set to the same values as in refConfig, and they are also marked as read-only in the top-level configuration. You cannot modify or remove the control variables populated using a component configuration from the top-model configuration. To populate variant control variables, refMdl is loaded. The operation also checks that there are no conflicts in existing variant control variable definitions of topConfig if it is associated with other referenced model configurations.

    This example uses:

    Open Live Script

    Open the slexVariantManagement model.

    modelName = "slexVariantManagement";
open_system(modelName);

    Get the variant configuration data object associated with the model. 

    vcd = Simulink.VariantManager.getConfigurationData(modelName);

    The model has a referenced model named slexVariantManagementExternalPlantMdlRef in its hierarchy that has a predefined variant configuration named LowFid. This command associates LowFid with the variant configuration named NonLinExterLowFid present in vcd and populates NonLinExterLowFid with the variant control variables from LowFid.

    addComponentConfiguration(vcd,ConfigurationName="NonLinExterLowFid", ...
    ComponentName="slexVariantManagementExternalPlantMdlRef",ComponentConfigurationName="LowFid");

    Input Arguments
