Metric ID

modeldesign.ReuseAnalysis[slcomp.DesignReferences]

Description

This metric returns the number of referenced models, linked libraries, and subsystem references for each unit in your project. Use this metric to assess how much each unit reuses existing design elements.

Supported Artifacts

This metric collects metric results for Units in the project. To control what the dashboard classifies as a unit, see Categorize Models in Hierarchy as Components or Units.

Collection

To collect data for this metric, execute the metric engine with the metric ID.

metric_engine = metric.Engine;
results = execute(metric_engine,"modeldesign.ReuseAnalysis[slcomp.DesignReferences]")

View the metric result values for a specific unit.

results(1).Value
results(1).ScopeAlias

To collect both the summary and detailed reuse metrics in a single call, use empty bracket syntax. Use the MetricID property to distinguish between results.

results = execute(metric_engine,"modeldesign.ReuseAnalysis[]")

Results

The metric returns an array of metric.Result objects, one for each unit in the project. Use the Value property of the metric result object to view the metric result values. Use the ScopeId and ScopeAlias properties to identify which unit the result belongs to.

The ScopeAlias property returns the name of the unit.

The Value property returns a structure with these fields:

• Models — Number of referenced models in the unit

• Libraries — Number of linked library blocks in the unit

• SubSystems — Number of subsystem references in the unit
