createArchitectureModel
Syntax
Description
createArchitectureModel(
creates an architecture model from the component component
,modelName
)component
that
references the model modelName
.
Note
Components with physical ports cannot be saved as architecture models, model references, software architectures, or Stateflow® chart behaviors. Components with physical ports can only be saved as subsystem references or subsystem component behaviors.
Examples
Create Architecture Model from Component
Save the component robotComp
in the
Robot.slx
model and reference the model.
Create a model named archModel.slx
.
model = systemcomposer.createModel("archModel",true); arch = get(model,"Architecture");
Add two components named "electricComp"
and
"robotComp"
to the model.
names = ["electricComp","robotComp"]; comp = addComponent(arch,names);
Save the robotComp
component in an architecture model so the
component references the model Robot.slx
.
createArchitectureModel(comp(2),"Robot");
Create Software Architecture Model from Component
Save the component electricComp
in the
RobotSoftware.slx
model and reference the model.
Create a model named archModel.slx
.
model = systemcomposer.createModel("archModel",true); arch = get(model,"Architecture");
Add two components named 'electricComp'
and
'robotComp'
to the model.
names = ["electricComp","robotComp"]; comp = addComponent(arch,names);
Save the electricComp
component in a software architecture model
so the component references the model RobotSoftware.slx
.
createArchitectureModel(comp(1),"RobotSoftware","SoftwareArchitecture");
Create AUTOSAR Architecture Model from Component
Save the component throttlePositionControl
in the
autosarTpcSys.slx
model and reference the model.
Create a model named archModel.slx
.
model = systemcomposer.createModel("archModel",true); arch = get(model,"Architecture");
Add two components named 'throttlePositionControl'
and
'Sensor'
to the model.
names = ["throttlePositionControl","Sensor"]; comp = addComponent(arch,names);
Save the throttlePositionControl
component in a software
architecture model so the component references the model
autosarTpcSys.slx
.
createArchitectureModel(comp(1),"autosarTpcSys","ClassicAUTOSARArchitecture");

More About
Definitions
Term | Definition | Application | More Information |
---|---|---|---|
architecture | A System Composer™ architecture represents a system of components and how they interface with each other structurally and behaviorally. |
Different types of architectures describe different aspects of systems. You can use views to visualize a subset of components in an architecture. You can define parameters on the architecture level using the Parameter Editor. | |
model | A System Composer model is the file that contains architectural information, including components, ports, connectors, interfaces, and behaviors. |
Perform operations on a model:
A System Composer model is stored as an SLX file. | Create Architecture Model with Interfaces and Requirement Links |
component | A component is a nontrivial, nearly independent, and replaceable part of a system that fulfills a clear function in the context of an architecture. A component defines an architectural element, such as a function, a system, hardware, software, or other conceptual entity. A component can also be a subsystem or subfunction. | Represented as a block, a component is a part of an architecture model that can be separated into reusable artifacts. Transfer information between components with:
| Components |
port | A port is a node on a component or architecture that represents a point of interaction with its environment. A port permits the flow of information to and from other components or systems. |
There are different types of ports:
| Ports |
connector | Connectors are lines that provide connections between ports. Connectors describe how information flows between components or architectures. | A connector allows two components to interact without defining the nature of the interaction. Set an interface on a port to define how the components interact. | Connections |

---|---|---|---|
reference component | A reference component is a component whose definition is a separate architecture model, Simulink® behavior model, or Simulink subsystem behavior. A reference component represents a logical hierarchy of other compositions. |
You can reuse compositions in the model using reference components. There are three types of reference components:
| |
parameter | A parameter is an instance-specific value of a value type. | Parameters are available for inlined architectures and components. Parameters are also available for components linked to model references or architecture references that specify model arguments. You can specify independent values for a parameter on each component. | |
subsystem component | A subsystem component is a Simulink subsystem that is part of the parent System Composer architecture model. | Add Simulink subsystem behavior to a component to author a subsystem component in System Composer. You cannot synchronize and reuse subsystem components as Reference Component blocks because the component is part of the parent model. | |
state chart | A state chart diagram demonstrates the state-dependent behavior of a component throughout its state lifecycle and the events that can trigger a transition between states. | Add Stateflow chart behavior to describe a component using state machines. You cannot synchronize and reuse Stateflow chart behaviors as Reference Component blocks because the component is part of the parent model. |

software architecture | A software architecture is a specialization of an architecture for software-based systems, including the description of software compositions, component functions, and their scheduling. | Use software architectures in System Composer to author software architecture models composed of software components, ports, and interfaces. Design your software architecture model, define the execution order of your component functions, simulate your design in the architecture level, and generate code. | |
software component | A software component is a specialization of a component for software entities, including its functions (entry points) and interfaces. | Implement a Simulink export-function, rate-based, or JMAAB model as a software component, simulate the software architecture model, and generate code. | |
software composition | A software composition is a diagram of software components and connectors that represents a composite software entity, such as a module or application. | Encapsulate functionality by aggregating or nesting multiple software components or compositions. | Modeling Software Architecture of Throttle Position Control System |
function | A function is an entry point that can be defined in a software component. | You can apply stereotypes to functions in software architectures, edit sample times, and specify the function period using the Functions Editor. | Author and Extend Functions for Software Architectures |
service interface | A service interface defines the functional interface between client and server components. Each service interface consists of one or more function elements. | Once you have defined a service interface in the Interface Editor, you can assign it to client and server ports using the Property Inspector. You can also use the Property Inspector to assign stereotypes to service interfaces. | |
function element | A function element describes the attributes of a function in a client-server interface. | Edit the function prototype on a function element to change the number and names of inputs and outputs of the function. Edit function element properties as you would edit other interface element properties. Function argument types can include built-in types as well as bus objects. You can specify function elements to support:
| systemcomposer.interface.FunctionElement |
function argument | A function argument describes the attributes of an input or output argument in a function element. | You can set the properties of a function argument in the Interface Editor just as you would any value type: | systemcomposer.interface.FunctionArgument |
class diagram | A class diagram is a graphical representation of a static structural model that displays unique architecture types of the software components optionally with software methods and properties. | Class diagrams capture one instance of each referenced model and show relationships between them. Any component diagram view can be optionally represented as a class diagram for a software architecture model. | Class Diagram View of Software Architectures |
