arxml.importer

R2026b

Import AUTOSAR XML descriptions of software components, compositions, or packages

Description

Use arxml.importer functions to import AUTOSAR software components, compositions, or packages of shared elements from ARXML files into Simulink^®. For example, you can parse an AUTOSAR software component description XML file exported by an AUTOSAR authoring tool, and then import the component into a Simulink model. After importing the component, you can use the Simulink representation of the component for further configuration, algorithm development, C/C++ code generation, and ARXML export. You can use the importFromARXML to import components and compositions directly to software architectures from ARXML descriptions.

For a list of schema versions supported for ARXML import and export, see Select AUTOSAR Classic Schema and Select AUTOSAR Adaptive Schema.

Creation

Syntax

ar = arxml.importer(filename)

ar = arxml.importer({filename1,filename2,...,filenameN})

Description

ar = arxml.importer(filename) creates object ar, which represents the AUTOSAR information in XML file filename.

ar = arxml.importer({filename1,filename2,...,filenameN}) creates object ar, which represents the AUTOSAR information in the specified XML files.

Tip

If you enter the arxml.importer function call without a terminating semicolon (;), the importer lists the AUTOSAR content of the specified XML file or files. The information includes paths to software components in the AUTOSAR package structure, which you can specify in calls to createComponentAsModel and importFromARXML.

Input Arguments

filename — AUTOSAR XML filename

character vector | string scalar

Name of XML file containing AUTOSAR information.

Example: 'mySWC.arxml'

filename1,filename2,...,filenameN — AUTOSAR XML filenames

cell array of character vectors | string array

Cell array of names of XML files containing AUTOSAR information.

Example: {'mySWC.arxml','DataTypes.arxml','MiscDefs.arxml'}

Object Functions

createComponentAsModel	Create Simulink representation of AUTOSAR ARXML atomic software component
getComponentNames	Get AUTOSAR software component names from ARXML files
updateArchitecturalData	Update Architectural Data section from ARXML definitions
updateAUTOSARProperties	Update model with ARXML definitions from AUTOSAR element packages
updateModel	Update AUTOSAR model or architecture with ARXML changes
createCompositionAsModel	Create Simulink representation of AUTOSAR ARXML software composition

Examples

Create arxml.importer Object from AUTOSAR XML File

Call the arxml.importer function to create object ar, which represents the AUTOSAR information in XML file mySWC.arxml. Use the returned object to import AUTOSAR software component /pkg/swc and create an initial Simulink representation of the component.

ar = arxml.importer('mySWC.arxml')
createComponentAsModel(ar,'/pkg/swc','ModelPeriodicRunnablesAs','AtomicSubsystem')

Create arxml.importer Object from Multiple AUTOSAR XML Files

Call the arxml.importer function to create object ar, which represents the AUTOSAR information in XML files mySWC.arxml, DataTypes.arxml, and MiscDefs.arxml. Use the returned object to import AUTOSAR software component /pkg/swc and create an initial Simulink representation of the component.

ar = arxml.importer({'mySWC.arxml','DataTypes.arxml','MiscDefs.arxml'})
createComponentAsModel(ar,'/pkg/swc','ModelPeriodicRunnablesAs','AtomicSubsystem')
