convert simulink model to older version

I have a model developed in matlab ver 2023a I need to convert it into version 2011a.

I ask if it's possible doing this:

1) convert from 2023a to 2016a

2) then convert the converted model from 2016a to 2011a

Thanks to any answer

Hi Michela,

I understand that you want to convert the version of your Simulink model.

1. To convert the new version to the old one:

In the Simulink window, File > Save > Previous version and save in your desired version.

For more information, please refer to the Export Model to Previous Version of Simulink section in the following documentation link:

Export Model to Previous Version of Simulink

2. To convert the old version to the new one:

Open the original model in Simulink new version and save it as the new model (*.slx or *.mdl).

Hope it helps!

Hi Samyuktha,

thanks for your answer. But my question is a bit different.

I know how to convert from new version to old version. But I need to know if it's possible to do a 'jump' .

I have a model developed in matlab version 2023a. Using this Matlab version I converted the model from 2023a to 2016a but not beyond this version, because it's not possible.

What I'd want to know if it's possible to covert this 'converted model' to an older matlab version, using a older Matlab, installed on another pc (this is my case).

So it's a jump between 3 version : 2023a jump to 2016a jump to 2011a

can I do it?

thanks again

Micky

Hi Micky,

Yes you can convert the 'converted model' to an older version using an older version of MATLAB.

Thank you,

Hi, I converted the 'converted model' ... the method works.

So now I have a 2011a model from a 2023a model. Very good

Can anyone help me with the same issue, converting the saved 2024a file format to 2022a.

As I have 2022 version and want to run the 2024 one.

@Rahul Bhattacharya

I suggest using MATLAB Online to convert R2024a to R2022a, and then downloading the converted model.

the matlab online version does not support simulink?? how to convert then?

I do not understand how this solves the question of converting Simulink models?
