Simulink: Variant Subsystem with Connection Ports

Hello,

I would like to create a variant subsystem containing SimPowerSystems blocks with connection ports interfacing the variant subsystem. In Matlab 2013a & b I recieve error messages, denying the creation due to usage of connection ports. The online documentation of 2014a suggests, usage of connection ports might be possible. Are connection ports in Variant Subsystems only supported as of version 2014a?

Best regards,

can you attach the model if possible

[Chandrasekhar]

where is the variant subsystem in your model?

[Tilman]

that is the problem: I am not able to convert the middle subsystem to a variant subsystem in matlab 2013a/b

Unfortunately, this is currently a limitation in MATLAB R2014a (8.3).

As a workaround for this issue you may have to manually create a variant subsystem, by using the 'Variant Subsystem' block from the 'Simulink -> Ports & Subsystems' library.

Thank you very much, works like a charm.
