How to programmatically determine if a Simulink model represents an AUTOSAR software component or composition?

In AUTOSAR, we have ARXMLs that can be either for a Software Component (SWC) or a grouping of SWCs called a composition. In both cases, after using the arxml.importer, the result is a Simulink model. Is it possible to know, by only inspecting the Simulink model, if it is a SWC or a Composition? What is the API for determining this?

names = getComponentNames(ar,compKind)

uses the compKind argument to specify the type of software component to return. You can narrow the search to a specific type of atomic software component, such as 'Application' or 'SensorActuator', or specify a nonatomic component, such as 'Composition' or 'Parameter'.

compKind — Component type

'Atomic' (default) | 'Application' | 'ComplexDeviceDriver' | 'Composition' | 'EcuAbstraction' | 'Parameter' | 'SensorActuator' | 'ServiceProxy'

in your case,

to get the list of Compositions:

ar = arxml.importer('xxxxx.arxml');

names = getComponentNames(ar,'Composition')
