addCopyOfConfiguration

R2026b

Add copy of existing variant configuration to variant configurations object

Syntax

addCopyOfConfiguration(varConfigs,ConfigurationName=oldConfig)

addCopyOfConfiguration(varConfigs,ConfigurationName=oldConfig,NewConfigurationName=newConfig)

Description

addCopyOfConfiguration(varConfigs,ConfigurationName=oldConfig) copies the variant configuration named oldConfig from the Simulink.VariantConfigurations object varConfigs and adds it to the same object. The function gives the new configuration a default name based on the name of the configuration that is copied.

addCopyOfConfiguration(varConfigs,ConfigurationName=oldConfig,NewConfigurationName=newConfig) specifies a name for the new configuration.

Examples

Copy Variant Configuration

Open the slexVariantManagement model and get the associated variant configurations object.

modelName="slexVariantManagement";
open_system(modelName);
varConfigs = Simulink.VariantManager.getVariantConfigurations("slexVariantManagement");

Add a copy of the existing variant configuration LinInterExpNoNoise to the variant configurations object varConfigs and name the copy LinInterExpNoiseGaussian.

addCopyOfConfiguration(varConfigs,ConfigurationName="LinInterExpNoNoise", ...
 NewConfigurationName="LinInterExpNoiseGaussian");

Input Arguments

varConfigs — Variant configurations object

Simulink.VariantConfigurations object

Variant configurations object to which you want to copy the variant configuration oldConfig, specified as a Simulink.VariantConfigurations object.

oldConfig — Name of existing variant configuration to copy

character vector | string scalar

Name of existing variant configuration to copy, specified as a character vector or string scalar. This configuration must exist in the variant configurations object varConfigs.

Example: "LinInterExpNoNoise"

Data Types: char | string

newConfig — Name of copied configuration

character vector | string scalar

Name of the copied configuration, specified as a character vector or string scalar.

Example: "NonLinExtExpNoise"

Data Types: char | string

Version History

Introduced in R2013b

R2026b: Moved to Simulink Variant Manager

Starting in R2026b, addCopyOfConfiguration is available in the Simulink^® Variant Manager™ product. In releases R2022b through R2026a, the function is available in the Variant Manager for Simulink support package. In earlier releases, the function is available in Simulink.

R2026a: Specify function arguments using Name=Value syntax

Specify input arguments for the addCopyOfConfiguration function using the Name=Value syntax. The function continues to support positional arguments, but it is recommended to use the Name=Value syntax instead.
