Organize and Share Architectures and Artifacts

R2026b
Create large-scale architecture models in projects, interact with source control, and compare and merge differences

Use Simulink® projects in System Composer™ to organize large-scale architecture modeling projects. You can use projects to find required files, manage and share files and settings, and interact with source control. Store architecture models and their artifacts such as data dictionaries, requirements, allocations, profiles, behavior models, test files, and scripts in a project. Use the System Composer Comparison Tool and System Composer Three-Way Merge Tool to compare System Composer architecture models and review, merge, and save changes.

If you are new to projects, for an introduction, see Projects in the MATLAB® documentation. For guidance specific to Simulink, see What Are MATLAB Projects in Simulink? and Using MATLAB Projects in Simulink.

You can access remote repositories compliant with SysML® v2 in System Composer programmatically. The SysML v2 repository API includes class-based introspection for SysML v2 elements returned from remote repositories. The API includes a MATLAB class hierarchy that mirrors the SysML v2 meta-model, supporting interactive exploration and type-dependent logic. You can now use meta-programming functions such as isa, class, and properties to inspect SysML v2 element types and discover available properties directly in MATLAB. You can also export MATLAB projects into SysML v2 textual files using systemcomposer.sysml.exportFromMLProject .
