Using Simulink

Generating a Model Report

A Simulink model report is an HTML document that describes a model's structure and content. The report includes block diagrams of the model and its subsystems and the settings of its block parameters.

To generate a report for the current model:

1. Select Print details from the model's File menu.

1. The Print Details dialog box appears.

   

   The dialog box allows you to select various report options (see Model Report Options).

2. Select the desired report options on the dialog box.
3. Select Print.

Simulink generates the HTML report and displays the in your system's default HTML browser.

While generating the report, Simulink displays status messages on a messages pane that replaces the options pane on the Print Details dialog box.

You can select the detail level of the messages from the list at the top of the messages pane. When the report generation process begins, the Print button on the Print Details dialog box changes to a Stop button. Clicking this button terminates the report generation. When the report generation process finishes, the Stop button changes to an Options button. Clicking this button redisplays the report generation options, allowing you to generate another report without having to reopen the Print Details dialog box.

Model Report Options

The Print Details dialog box allows you to select the following report options.

Directory

The directory where Simulink stores the HTML report that it generates. The options include your system's temporary directory (the default), your system's current directory, or another directory whose path you specify in the adjacent edit field.

Increment filename to prevent overwriting old files

Creates a unique report file name each time you generate a report for the same model in the current session. This preserves each report.

Current object

Include only the currently selected object in the report.

Current and above

Include the current object and all levels of the model above the current object in the report.

Current and below

Include the current object and all levels below the current object in the report.

Entire model

Include the entire model in the report.

Look under mask dialog

Include the contents of masked subsystems in the report.

Expand unique library links

Include the contents of library blocks that are subsystems. The report includes a library subsystem only once even if it occurs in more than one place in the model.
