Simulink® Release Notes

Model Referencing Limitations

This release imposes some limitations on the use of model referencing. For example, in this release, models must meet certain conditions to reference other models or be referenced by other models. This release also restricts the use of model referencing with some features of Simulink and products based on Simulink. This section summarizes some of the major limitations that this release places on model referencing. See Simulink-related product information for additional information on the limitations summarized here.

Referencing and Referenced Model Limitations

The following limitations apply both to models that reference other models (referencing models) and models referenced by other models.

• The simulation start time of both referencing and referenced models must be 0.
• The model's inline parameters optimization must be selected. If the optimization is off for the top model, this release displays an error message. If it is off for referenced models, this release turns it on while generating model reference targets.
• The model must use Simulink.Parameter objects to specify the tunability of model parameters.

• This release ignores tunable parameter information specified by the model's Model Parameter Configuration dialog box. This release provides a utility function, tunablevars2parameterobjects, to facilitate conversion of parameter tunability information from dialog to Simulink.Parameter object form.
