Difference of ProtectedModels for Linux and Windows

I want to use a protected model on linux and windows machines but this is not possible. So i need to generate the protected model for every operating system seperately.

Now I wonder why there is this operating system dependeny for protected models. How differ the generated protected models for linux and windows with respect to code generation? Do i have to expect different generated code for each operating system?

Additionally, is a protected model already keeping its generated code inside, so the code will not be generated again during a following build?

(1) A protected model can only be simulated on the same OS that it was created in. You would need to create a version of the protected model for every OS.

(2) Please refer to the doc below to understand what protected model contains.

A protected model file (.slxp) contains derived files that support the options that you select when you create the protected model.

Some of the supported functionality are OS-dependent. For example, to run a protected model in accelerator mode, it requires to generate C code and link it to C-MEX S-Function, which is an OS-specific process.

(3) As you may have seen in the document, the protected model does not contain C code inside, but derived files for your option that will be used for building process.
