HasInterfaceElement

Create query to select architectural elements with interface element on interface based on specified subconstraint

Since R2019b

    Description

    example

    query = HasInterfaceElement(subconstraint) creates a query query that the find and createView functions use to select architectural elements with an interface element that satisfies the given subconstraint subconstraint.

    Examples

    collapse all

    Import the namespace that contains all of the System Composer™ queries.

    import systemcomposer.query.*

    Open the Simulink® project file for the keyless entry system.

    openProject("scKeylessEntrySystem");

    Load the architecture model.

    model = systemcomposer.loadModel("KeylessEntryArchitecture");

    Create a query for all the interface elements with c in the Name and run the query.

    constraint = HasPort(HasInterface(HasInterfaceElement(contains(Property("Name"),"c"))));
    elements = find(model,constraint,Recurse=true,IncludeReferenceModels=true)
    elements = 9x1 cell
        {'KeylessEntryArchitecture/Door Lock//Unlock System'                      }
        {'KeylessEntryArchitecture/FOB Locater System'                            }
        {'KeylessEntryArchitecture/Engine Control System/Keyless Start Controller'}
        {'KeylessEntryArchitecture/Engine Control System'                         }
        {'KeylessEntryArchitecture/Sound System/Sound Controller'                 }
        {'KeylessEntryArchitecture/Lighting System/Lighting Controller'           }
        {'KeylessEntryArchitecture/Sound System'                                  }
        {'KeylessEntryArchitecture/FOB Locater System/FOB Locater Module'         }
        {'KeylessEntryArchitecture/Door Lock//Unlock System/Door Lock Controller' }

    TermDefinitionApplicationMore Information
    view

    A view shows a customizable subset of elements in a model. Views can be filtered based on stereotypes or names of components, ports, and interfaces, along with the name, type, or units of an interface element. Create views by adding elements manually. Views create a simplified way to work with complex architectures by focusing on certain parts of the architectural design.

    You can use different types of views to represent the system. Switch between a component diagram, component hierarchy, or architecture hierarchy. For software architectures, you can switch to a class diagram view. A viewpoint represents a stakeholder perspective that specifies the contents of the view.

    element group

    An element group is a grouping of components in a view.

    Use element groups to programmatically populate a view.

    query

    A query is a specification that describes certain constraints or criteria to be satisfied by model elements.

    Use queries to search elements with constraint criteria and to filter views.

    component diagram

    A component diagram represents a view with components, ports, and connectors based on how the model is structured.

    Component diagrams allow you to programmatically or manually add and remove components from the view.

    hierarchy diagram

    You can visualize a hierarchy diagram as a view with components, ports, reference types, component stereotypes, and stereotype properties.

    There are two types of hierarchy diagrams:

    • Component hierarchy diagrams display components in tree form with parents above children. In a component hierarchy view, each referenced model is represented as many times as it is used.

    • Architecture hierarchy diagrams display unique component architecture types and their relationships using composition connections. In an architecture hierarchy view, each referenced model is represented only once.
