Check for mixing basic blocks and subsystems

Check ID: mathworks.maab.db_0143

Guideline: db_0143: Usable block types in model hierarchy

Check for systems that mix primitive blocks and subsystems.

You must design each level of a model with building blocks of the same type, for example, only subsystems or only primitive (basic) blocks.

This check requires a Simulink^® Check™ license.

This check does not include sub-checks because the MAB modeling guideline provides only one sub ID.

For reference, the MAB guideline sub ID(s) that are recommended for use by the NA-MAAB and JMAAB modeling standards organizations are:

To customize the blocks and masks that are checked during the analysis, use the Model Advisor Configuration Editor.

Open the Model Configuration Editor and search for check ID db_0143.
Under Input Parameters, select Custom from the Standards list.
In the Treat blocktype list as list, select Allowed to include the blocks/masks in the analysis or Prohibited to exclude the blocks/masks from the analysis.
Use the Block Types list table to delete or add a block and/or mask type.
Click Apply and save the configuration.

Condition	Recommended Action
A level in the model includes subsystem blocks and primitive blocks.	Move nonvirtual blocks into the subsystem.

Runs on library models.
Analyzes content of library-linked blocks. By default, the input parameter Follow links is set to on.
Analyzes content in masked subsystems. By default, the input parameter Look under masks is set to all.
Allows exclusions of blocks and charts.
