Open Simulink Editor "Requirements Manager" App programmatically

8 views (last 30 days)
Hello,
Is it possible to open programmatically an app, for example the Requirements Manager, in a Simulink model using a command line command?
I am trying to enter into the Requirements perspective view automatically, and opening the Requirements Manager is one way to do it.
Thank you

Hi Francesco, it sounds like you're trying to open the Requirements Manager app in a Simulink model by using the MATLAB command line.
You can use slreq.openRequirementsManager(model) where model is the name of the Simulink model, specified as a string scalar or character vector. The model must be open. For example, you can open a model called vdp and then open the Requirements Manager app in the model:
open_system("vdp")
slreq.openRequirementsManager("vdp")
You can also close the Requirements Manager app in a Simulink model at the command line. The model must be open. For example:
slreq.closeRequirementsManager("vdp")

Hi Alex! Thank you very much for your answer! I managed to do exactly what I needed, that was opening the requirements manager in order to then generate a web view which contained the requirements! Before, I did not not manage just by activating the option 'requirements' in slwebview().
This is the code I used, where I added the middle command you suggested. Thank you!
set_param(libraryModel, 'Lock', 'off');
slreq.openRequirementsManager(libraryModel)
slwebview(libraryModel, ...
'OptionalViews', {'requirements'},...
'SearchScope', 'All', ...
'LookUnderMasks', 'all', ...
'FollowLinks', 'on', ...
'FollowModelReference', 'on',...
'PackageFolder',myfolder,...
'PackagingType','both',...
'ViewFile',false )

slvnvdemo_fuelsys_officereq;
blk_with_req = ['slvnvdemo_fuelsys_officereq/fuel rate controller/'...
'Airflow calculation']
reqts = rmi('get', blk_with_req);
reqts.description = 'Mass airflow estimation';
addpath(fullfile(matlabroot,'toolbox','slrequirements',...
'slrequirementsdemos','fuelsys_req_docs'))
rmi('set', blk_with_req, reqts);
new_req = rmi('createempty');
new_req.doc = 'fuelsys_requirements2.htm';
new_req.description = 'New requirement';
rmi('cat', blk_with_req, new_req);
rmi('report', 'slvnvdemo_fuelsys_officereq');

Thanks for your answer, however I cannot achieve exactly what I need with the above commands. I have added further details to the question now. I'm after a command that opens the requirements perspective and/or the requirements manager APP.
