ID: Titlehisl_0046: Configuration Parameters > Simulation Target > Block reduction
Description

To support unambiguous presentation of the generated code and support traceability between a model and generated code, clear configuration parameter Block reduction.

Notes

Selecting Block reduction might optimize blocks out of the code generated for a model. This results in requirements without associated code and violates traceability objectives.

Rationale

Supports:

  • Unambiguous presentation of generated code

  • Traceability between a model and generated code
