Simulink.CloneDetection.getExclusions

Get list of components excluded from clone detection

Since R2025a

Syntax

exclusionInfo = Simulink.CloneDetection.getExclusions(modelName)

Description

exclusionInfo = Simulink.CloneDetection.getExclusions(modelName) returns all blocks or queries that are excluded from clone detection analysis for the model modelName.

Examples

Get Excluded Components from Model

Get a list of components excluded from clone detection analysis.

Open the model ex_detect_clones.

openExample('ex_detect_clones')

Exclude the subsystems SS2 and SS3 in the model ex_detect_clones from clone detection analysis.

exclusionResults = Simulink.CloneDetection.addExclusions('ex_detect_clones',...
               {'ex_detect_clones/SS2','ex_detect_clones/SS3'},'Block to be removed later.')

exclusionResults =

  struct with fields:

    AddedExclusions: [1×2 struct]
    FailedExclusions: []

For more information, see Exclude Subsystem Blocks from Clone Detection Analysis.

Retrieve the exclusions from the model.

exclusionsInfo = Simulink.CloneDetection.getExclusions('ex_detect_clones')

exclusionsInfo = 

   struct with fields:

        ExcludedQueries: [0×0 struct]
         ExcludedBlocks: [1×2 struct]

exclusionsInfo is a structure with the fields ExcludedQueries and ExcludedBlocks.

View the first excluded block:

 exclusionsInfo.ExcludedBlocks(1)

ans = 

   struct with fields:

        Blockpath: 'ex_detect_clones/SS2'
        BlockType: 'Subsystem'
        Rationale: 'Block to be removed later.'

Input Arguments

modelName — Model to retrieve exclusions

character vector | string scalar

Model to retrieve exclusions from, specified as a character vector or string array.

Example: 'mymodel'

Data Types: char | string

Output Arguments

exclusionInfo — Exclusion information

structure

Exclusion information, returned as a structure with these fields:

ExcludedQueries — Excluded queries

structure

Excluded queries, returned as a structure with these fields:

Alternative Functionality

Clone Detection Exclusion Editor

You can also view exclusions by using the Clone Detection Exclusion Editor. To view exclusion information for the Simulink^® model, right-click a Subsystem or Model block and select Identify Modeling Clones > Open Clone Detection Exclusion Editor.
