Introduction

Representation of physical systems using Simulink leads to complexity in models due to the presence of thousands of subsystems and blocks. Hence it is difficult to navigate through the hierarchy of a model and also it consumes some time to locate the systems that are to be modified or analyzed. Further, for any change that needs to be made in custom interfaced masked subsystems or inbuilt blocks, the steps to locate and modify the dialog values are not explicit.

Model Bookmarks helps to overcome these challenges by providing an easy way to bookmark various model systems and to open them quickly. It helps to

  • Bookmark Simulink models, subsystems, blocks and scopes.
  • Easily locate or open the bookmarked components at any level in the models or libraries.
  • Bookmark and open block parameters; mask dialogs for quick modification of parameter values.

In addition, it helps to setup the Simulink projects in MATLAB without the need of custom configuration scripts. The list of bookmarks can be exported as an XML file and can be shared with team members or vendors for communicating about the systems to be changed or tested.
