Abstract
In an embodiment, a specification of a configuration subgraph is received. The configuration subgraph may graphically specify an attribute for an element in a block diagram model. A relationship may be established between the configuration subgraph and the element. The configuration subgraph may be evaluated to produce a result. The result may be used to configure the attribute of the element during or prior to a compilation of a dynamic portion of the block diagram model. The configuration subgraph may not be used during an execution of the dynamic portion of the block diagram model.
Claims19
A computing device implemented method, comprising:
- accessing, using processing logic, a block diagram model, the block diagram model:
- having a dynamic portion, the dynamic portion associated with an element having an attribute, and
- having a configuration subgraph portion with a graphical entity for configuring the attribute of the element of the dynamic portion, the configuration subgraph portion being directly or indirectly connected to the dynamic portion through a connection;
- evaluating, using the processing logic, the configuration subgraph portion of the block diagram model, the evaluating comprising:
- associating a flag with the attribute of the element of the dynamic portion,
- propagating the flag backwards from the element of the dynamic portion to the graphical entity of the configuration subgraph portion using the connection,
- accessing the graphical entity of the configuration subgraph portion prior to compiling the dynamic portion, and
- executing the graphical entity to configure the attribute of the element of the dynamic portion,
- the configuring based on the executing of the graphical entity in the configuration subgraph portion, and
- the configuring performed prior to executing the dynamic portion of the model;
- and
- executing the dynamic portion of the block diagram model, the dynamic portion of the block diagram model having the configured attribute of the element.
