Simulink.findBlocks

Find blocks in Simulink models

Syntax

bl = Simulink.findBlocks(sys)

bl = Simulink.findBlocks(sys,options)

bl = Simulink.findBlocks(sys,Param1,Value1,...,ParamN,ValueN)

bl = Simulink.findBlocks(sys,Param1,Value1,...,ParamN,ValueN,options)

Description

bl = Simulink.findBlocks(sys) returns handles to all blocks in the model or subsystem sys.

bl = Simulink.findBlocks(sys,options) finds blocks that match the criteria specified by a Simulink.FindOptions object.

bl = Simulink.findBlocks(sys,Param1,Value1,...,ParamN,ValueN) finds blocks whose block parameters have the specified values.

bl = Simulink.findBlocks(sys,Param1,Value1,...,ParamN,ValueN,options) finds blocks whose parameters have the specified values and that match the criteria specified by a FindOptions object.
