Referenced Models
Generate code for referenced models
You can generate code for a model reference hierarchy to achieve:
- Incremental code generation – generate code only if the model has changes since the code was previously generated 
- Incremental loading – load referenced model when it is required which speeds up model loading 
- Modular development – develop and maintain referenced model independently from the models that use it 
- Code reuse – generate reusable code from referenced model 
To get started on an example on how to generate code for a referenced model, see Generate Code for Model Reference Hierarchy.
Topics
Code Generation
- Generate Code for Model Reference Hierarchy
 Introduces generating code for models referenced with Model blocks.
- Generated Functions in a Model Reference Hierarchy
 About generated functions in a model reference hierarchy.
- File Packaging for Models (Code and Data)
 Partition data and functions of reference model into separate files.
- Set Configuration Parameters for Code Generation of Model Hierarchies
 Satisfy model reference hierarchy requirements to enable code generation.
- Convert Subsystem to Referenced Model and Generate Code
 Use Model Reference Conversion Advisor to convert a Subsystem block to a Model block and generate code for the model reference hierarchy.
- Storage Classes for Parameters and Signals Used in Model Blocks
 Configure storage classes for parameters and signals to transfer data in model reference hierarchy.
- Code Generation Limitations for Model Reference
 Model references have limitations including, but not limited to, data logging, state initialization, and S-functions.
- Simulink Cache Files for Incremental Code Generation
 Share Simulink cache files in team-based development to reduce build time and avoid unnecessary code regeneration.
- Combine Code Generated for Multiple Models
 Generate a single executable program from multiple models or multiple copies of the same model.
Code Reuse
- Generate Reusable Code from Model Reference Hierarchy
 Generate reusable subsystem code from a top model with Model blocks.
- Specify Instance-Specific Parameter Values for Reusable Referenced Model
 When you create a reusable component as a referenced model, configure block parameters to use the same value for instances of the component or a different value for each instance.
- Shared Constant Parameters for Code Reuse
 Share generated code for constant parameters across models.
