Call script in setupImpl for initializing a Matlab System subclass

Hi all,

I have a script that should initialize a class that I want to use in Simulink using an (interpreted) Matlab System block. This script outputs a structure, e.g.:

struct = initializationScript;

The initialization should be done only once. I am aware that the method setupImpl should be used for initialization, but don't want to copy the content of the initialization script inside this method, since it is pretty large.

I tried to call the initializationScript script from the setupImpl, but I get the error:

Problem creating simulation targer MEX-file for model ... This text contains non-empty top-level expressions. It appears to be a script...

I wonder if there is a way to call initialization scripts in the setupImpl method.

Thanks!

Cheers,

Bruno

Hi,

I solved the problem. I actually forgot to set the block as interpreted. Then I set up the struct in properties (Access=private) and it worked.

Hi, I am facing similar issue. Cant work it out.

I have a matlab script that needs to be run. When it is run, it gives out 50 workspace variables. I needed to use these 50 variables and cant initialize this script in setupimp1. Any idea ?

Thanks
