How can I programatically add requirements to blocks in a Simulink in Simulink Verification and Validation 2.4 (R2008b)?

The documentation for Simulink Verification and Validation 2.4 (R2008b) describes how to add requirements to an object using the graphical user interface. I want to add requirements to the Simulink blocks programmatically.

The RMI command is the Requirements Management Interface API. The documentation for this command can be reached using the following command:

 web([docroot,'/toolbox/slvnv/ug/rmi.html'])

The following MATLAB code is an example of how to use it:

reqlinks = rmi('createempty');  % Create an empty requirement structure

reqlinks.doc = 'MyDoc.docx';    % The document to be linked is MyDoc.docx

reqlinks.id = '?Req1';   % In the document, the requirement is "Req1"

reqlinks.description  = 'This is the description of my requirement'; % Description

reqlinks.reqsys = 'word';   % type of requirement, a word document

load_system('vdp');     % Load the Simulink

obj = 'vdp/Mu';     % The Simulink object we want to link to a requirement, the block named "Mu" in model "vdp.mdl"

rmi('set', obj, reqlinks);  % Accociate the requirement to the bloc

This code will link the requirement "Req1" located in the word file "MyWord.docx" to the block "Mu" located in vdp.mdl.
