Syntax

updateModel(ar,modelName)
updateModel(ar,archModelName)
updateModel(___,OpenReport=OpenReportValue)

Description

updateModel(ar,modelName) updates the specified open model with changes found in the AUTOSAR XML (ARXML) files associated with the arxml.importer object ar. The ARXML files must contain the AUTOSAR software component mapped by the model, and must be suitable for code generation.

When comparing the current version of the ARXML file with the previous version, the comparison routine applies these rules in this order:

  1. If elements have the same UUID and type, then the elements match. The function does not update the model.

  2. If elements have different UUIDs, then the elements do not match. The function updates the model with the ARXML change.

  3. If elements have the same qualified name, then the elements match. The function does not update the model.

  4. Otherwise, elements do not match. The function updates the model with the ARXML changes.

The updater generates and opens a report that details the changes made to the model, and required changes that were not made by the function. You can control whether this report opens using the OpenReport argument.

AUTOSAR package structure updates affect the stored AR-PACKAGE structure and are applied to future exports. Imported package structure updates do not affect AUTOSAR Dictionary package path XML options. The XML package path options apply to AUTOSAR elements created in Simulink® rather than to imported elements.

This function is supported only for models and architectures configured for the AUTOSAR Classic Platform.

example

updateModel(ar,archModelName) updates the specified open architecture model with changes found in the ARXML files associated with the arxml.importer object ar. The ARXML files must contain the AUTOSAR software composition mapped by the model, and must be suitable for code generation.

example

updateModel(___,OpenReport=OpenReportValue) specifies name-value argument OpenReport in addition to any of the input argument combinations in previous syntaxes. To specify that the AUTOSAR Update Report opens when the update process is complete, set OpenReport to "on".

Update model mySWC with the changes described in ARXML file updatedSWC.arxml, and then open the AUTOSAR Update Report.

open_system("mySWC")
ar = arxml.importer("updatedSWC.arxml");
updateModel(ar,"mySWC",OpenReport="on");
### Updating model mySWC
### Saving original model as mySWC_backup.slx
### Creating HTML report mySWC_update_report.html

Update an architecture model, myArchModel with the ARXML changes described in updatedArchModel.arxml, and then open the AUTOSAR Update Report.

arModel = autosar.arch.loadModel("ControllerArchitecture");
impObj = arxml.importer("ControllerArchitecture.arxml");
updateModel(impObj,arModel)
### Updating model autosar_tpc_controller_bus
### Saving original model as autosar_tpc_controller_bus_backup_1.slx
### Creating HTML report autosar_tpc_controller_bus_update_report.html
Updated model 'autosar_tpc_controller_bus' for component 1 of 1: /Components/autosar_tpc_controller_bus
### Saving original model as ControllerArchitecture_backup.slx
Updating composition 1 of 1: /Components/ControllerArchitecture
### Creating HTML report ControllerArchitecture_update_report.html

Input Arguments

collapse all

Handle of an arxml.importer that contains AUTOSAR information previously imported from ARXML files.

Name of an open model to update with changes from ARXML files associated with an arxml.importer object, specified as a character vector or string scalar.

Example: "mySWC"

Name of an open architecture model to update with changes from ARXML files associated with an arxml.importer object, specified as a character vector or string scalar.

Example: "myArchModel"

Option to open the AUTOSAR Update Report after updating a model, specified as "on" or "off".

  • "on" — The report opens.

  • "off" — The report does not open.

Example: updateModel(ar,"myControllerModel",OpenReport="off")

Limitations

You can branch ports to multiple runnable systems. If an ARXML update removes data access for some but not all runnables accessing the port, then the software does not update the model canvas and the AUTOSAR Update Report does not indicate a change. The connectors and ports on the affected runnable system must be removed manually.
