Data and Structure Layer Separation Metric

Metric ID

Metric ID: mathworks.metrics.LayerSeparation

Description

Metric Type: Readability

Model Advisor Check ID: mathworks.metricchecks.LayerSeparation

Run this metric to calculate the data and structure layer separation. The results provide the separation at the model and subsystem level.

This metric is available with Simulink® Check™. To collect data for this metric, use getMetrics with the metric identifier, mathworks.metrics.LayerSeparation.

For guidelines about blocks on model levels, see the MAB guideline db_0143: Usable block types in model hierarchy.

The slmetric.metric.AggregationMode property setting is Sum.

Computation Details

The metric:

  • Does not run on library models.

  • Analyzes content in masked subsystems.

  • If specified, analyzes the content of library-linked blocks or referenced models.

Collection

To collect results for this metric using the Model Advisor, run the check, Data and structure layer separation metric in By Task > Model Metrics > Readability Metrics. The Model Advisor check displays the separation for the model or subsystem. The check does not analyze referenced models or return aggregated results.

Results

For this metric, instances of slmetric.metric.Result provide the following results:

  • Value: Number of basic blocks on a structural level.

  • AggregatedValue: Number of basic blocks on a structural level for a component and its subcomponents.

  • Measures: Not applicable.
