Customizing Generated Code File Names in Simulink？

My model is named Test, and in Simulink's Code Generation -> Code Placement, the automatically generated file naming rules are as follows:

• Header file: $R$E
• Source file: $R$E
• Data file: $R_data

The generated files include:

• Test.c
• Test.h
• Test_types.h
• Test_private.h

When I replace $R with myModel, the generated files become:

• myModel.c
• myModel.h
• myModeltypes.h
• myModelprivate.h

I noticed that the underscore (_) disappeared in the last two files.

Is there any way to adjust the generated code file names so that they are different from the main model name?

Hi @审言,

You can use a “Custom token text” to modify the name of the header, source and data files generated during code generation. Please follow the below steps to create and use a custom token:

• In the Code Generation > Identifiers section, specify the “custom token text” in “advanced parameters”

• In the Code Generation > Code Placement section, you can use the custom token by entering “$U” in “Auto-generated file naming rules”

• Note that "$E" is mandatory for header and source files, representing instances for various file types such as dt, private, types, etc.
• After making the above changes, you should be able to see “CustomToken” in your filenames as

You may refer to the following documentation page for “Custom token text” - https://www.mathworks.com/help/releases/R2024b/ecoder/ref/customtokentext.html
