Library Mapping

Modelify allows specifying function-to-block mappings for functions in the codebase. This allows the conversion to leverage existing Simulink blocks or company-specific block libraries.

Modelify provides a default list of mappings for several mathematical operations. Click the Add Defaults button to add the default mappings.

You can enable or disable mapping rules individually by clicking the checkbox in the Function column.

To create a new custom mapping rule:

• Click the Add button.
• Select the function from the list of functions and click OK. You can start typing the function name to filter the functions list.
• Click the cell under Block Type column, then click the Edit button to select the block type that will replace the function in Block Types dialog.
• If needed, edit the corresponding In Port Map and Out Port Map cells to set mapping of function input arguments to block inports, and function output to block outports.
• You might optionally need to set the parameters for the selected block type. Click Edit button in Block Properties column.

Block Types Dialog

The Block Types dialog is used to select the block type for the library mapping. The Block Type can be selected from either the built-in Simulink block types or from a custom library.

If you would like to select a built-in Simulink block type, select the Simulink Block tab in the dialog. The Search box can be used to find a block type and then select it in the list.

To select a block type from a custom library, select the Custom Library Block tab in the dialog. Then choose the custom library file using the Browse... button. Modelify will then load the list of block types in the selected file and fill the list.

Using the toggle buttons under Show, you can choose whether Subsystems and Non Subsystems should be shown in the list.

In Port Map Dialog

The In Port Map Dialog is used to map the parameters of the C function to the correct Simulink block ports. This is necessary if the parameters of the C function are in a different order than the block ports or if there are more parameters than ports or vice-versa.

To map function block inports:

• Click the Mapping Type column to select the type from either Parameter or Literal.
• In the second column, select the parameter name or type the literal value.
• In Simulink Block Port column, set the Simulink port number

The Add and Remove buttons are used to add and remove parameters.

Out Port Map Dialog

The Out Port Map Dialog is used to map the out ports of the Simulink block to the return value of the C function. This is necessary if the Simulink block has multiple out ports.

To map function block outports:

• Type the port number in Block Port column.
• In Function Out Port column, select the Out Port for the port number from the dropdown menu.

The Add and Remove buttons are used to add and remove block ports.

Block Properties Dialog

The Block Properties Dialog is used to configure the properties of the block that will be created. You can set the value for selected block's parameters.

To set the value for block parameters:

• In Property Value column, choose the value from dropdown menu.

The Add and Remove buttons are used to add and remove properties.
