Detect and Replace Clones Programmatically in a Loop on Multiple Models
This example shows how to programmatically detect and replace clones on a multiple models in a loop by operating on models individually. For more information about Clone Detection APIs, see Detect and Replace Subsystem Clones Programmatically.
This example shows how to detect and replace clones programmatically for five Simulink® models using the library file TestLib_1
as a subsystem reference to replace clones.
1. At the MATLAB® command line, enter:
addpath(fullfile(docroot,'toolbox','simulink','examples')) ex_clone_detection_A ex_clone_detection_B ex_clone_detection_C ex_clone_detection_E ex_clone_detection_F TestLib_1 Save the models and library file in the current working directory.
2. Create an array to add the models to:
modelList = {};
3. Add the models to the modelList
array:
modelList{end+1,1} = 'ex_clone_detection_A'; modelList{end+1,1} = 'ex_clone_detection_B'; modelList{end+1,1} = 'ex_clone_detection_C'; modelList{end+1,1} = 'ex_clone_detection_F';
4. Define containers to store Results
, ReplacementResults
and equivalencyCheck
object for the models.
cloneResultsStorage = containers.Map(); cloneReplacementStorage = containers.Map(); equivalencyCheckStorage = containers.Map();
5. Add the library file to the cloneDetectionSettings
object created from Settings
class.
libName = 'TestLib_1';
cloneDetectionSettings = Simulink.CloneDetection.Settings();
cloneDetectionSettings = cloneDetectionSettings.addLibraries(libName);
6. Use a loop to cycle through the models using the Simulink.CloneDetection.findClones
, Simulink.CloneDetection.replaceClones
, and Simulink.CloneDetection.checkEquivalency
functions.
for modelIndex = 1:length(modelList) modelName = modelList{modelIndex}; try cloneResults = Simulink.CloneDetection.findClones(modelName, cloneDetectionSettings); cloneResultsStorage(modelName) = cloneResults; cloneReplacementResults = Simulink.CloneDetection.replaceClones(cloneResults); cloneReplacementStorage(modelName) = cloneReplacementResults; equivalencyCheckResults = Simulink.CloneDetection.checkEquivalency(cloneReplacementResults); equivalencyCheckStorage(modelName) = equivalencyCheckResults; catch exception end end
You can access the results of cloneResultsStorage
, cloneReplacementStorage
, and equivalencyCheckStorage
objects for individual models. For more details, see Detect and Replace Subsystem Clones Programmatically.
