Availability of Checks for Simulink Model Advisor

I'm currently using Matlab R2019b with Model Advisor installed. I want to use certain checks from the new MAB-guidelines and noticed that they are not available in my Installation of Model Advisor.

I'm a bit confused, though, because I don't see any pattern for which checks are available and which aren't. For example this check db_0141 is not available, but this one jc_0791 is. The first one is defined in the MAAB Styleguide Version 3, the second one is not in there, but in version 5. Both of these were introduced in R2020a according to the documentation page.

Is there any way to get the missing checks into my Model Advisor installation, or can anybody at least tell me how I can know if a check is/should be available for me?

Hi Vince,

In R2019b, db_0141 is a part of MAAB v3.0 guidelines and jc_0791 is a part of JMAAB guidelines (JMAAB). Only the MAAB v3.0 guidelines are published in MathWorks documentation - MAAB guidelines.

In R2020a, a new version of MAB guidelines came out which essentially combined MAAB and JMAAB guidelines and is now published on the documentation.

It is possible that some of the gidelines do not have a check in Model Advisor. You can figure this out by looking at the "Verification" section of the guideline. It will list the Model Advisor check availability for checking the guideline.

Thanks,

Nishad
