Manage Variant Modeling Components
Variant Manager is a tool that allows you to visualize the model hierarchy and centrally manage the usage of variant elements such as variant blocks and variant transitions in Stateflow® charts across the hierarchy.
The tool is available as a support package named Variant Manager for Simulink® with these main capabilities:
Variant Manager — Visualize the model hierarchy, manage the usage of variant elements across the hierarchy, and create and manage variant configurations.
Variant Reducer — Generate a reduced model that contains only selected variant configurations.
Variant Analyzer — Compare and contrast variant configurations to identify errors or inconsistencies.
Classes
Simulink.VariantConfigurationAnalysis | Analyze variant configurations programmatically |
Objects
Simulink.VariantConfigurationData | Create and store variant configurations and constraints |
