Refactor Models
Use the Model Transformer and the Clone Detector apps to refactor a model to improve model componentization, readability and reusability.
Use the Model Transformer to:
Identify modeling patterns that qualify for transformation into Variant Source or Variant Subsystem blocks. Using Variant Subsystem and Variant Source blocks helps in the reusability of a model for different conditional expressions called variant choices. The active model is a combination of a fixed structure and variable components that you activate depending on the variant choice that you select.
Identify data store blocks that qualify for elimination. Eliminating data store blocks improves model readability by making data dependencies explicit.
Identify n-D Lookup Table blocks that qualify for transformation into shared Prelookup blocks and multiple Interpolation blocks. This transformation improves the simulation efficiency.
Identify multiple Interpolation Using Prelookup blocks that qualify for transformation into a single Interpolation Using Prelookup block in a modeling pattern. This transformation improves the generated code efficiency.
Identify Bus Creator and Bus Selector blocks that qualify for transformation into In Bus Element and Out Bus Element blocks. This transformation simplifies bus handling, reduces the number of blocks in the model, and improves readability.
Use the Clone Detector to:
Identify clones and create a model with the clones replaced by links to subsystem blocks in a library. Replacing clones with links to library blocks enables component reuse and ensures consistency across models.
Identify and replace clones in a model with the subsystem references.

Featured Examples
Detect and Replace Clones Programmatically in a Loop on Multiple Models
Programmatically detect and replace clones on multiple models in a loop by operating on models individually. For more information about Clone Detection APIs, see Detect and Replace Subsystem Clones Programmatically.
Detect Clones Programmatically on Multiple Models Across Different Folders
Programmatically detect clones across multiple models located in different folders. For more information about the clone detection APIs, see Detect and Replace Subsystem Clones Programmatically.
Running Clone Detection Custom Script in a Project
Run a custom script for detecting clones on the set of Simulink® model files managed in a project. Creating a custom script would help to organize and automate the large modeling projects. For more information on setting up a custom task, see Run Custom Tasks on Project Files.
Identify Data Type Match with Library Clone Detection
Programmatically detect clones and determine whether the inport data types of the library subsystem matches the inport data types of the clones in a model. For more information about Clone Detection APIs, see Detect and Replace Subsystem Clones Programmatically.
