Subsystems

Generate and reuse code for subsystems

You can group blocks into a Subsystem block to reduce the size and complexity of a model. To generate modular code and unit test code for individual subsystems, you can configure an atomic subsystem to generate code to a separate function and file.

A subsystem can be virtual or atomic. A virtual subsystem provides graphical hierarchy in a model and does not impact the execution of a model. An atomic subsystem executes as a single unit within a model. The code generator supports conditionally executed subsystems.
