Create Links to External Requirements
Use links to establish traceability with requirements in third-party tools
Associate designs with requirements in third-party applications by creating direct links. Create bidirectional traceability by adding backlinks to requirements in third-party tools. Check direct links for validity and consistency by using the Model Advisor.

Topics
Link to Requirements in Third-Party Applications
- Link Directly to Requirements in Third-Party Applications
Link directly from items in MATLAB® and Simulink® to requirements in third-party applications.
- Document Path Storage
Learn how to specify the absolute or relative path for a requirement. - Define Custom Document Interface for Direct Linking to Requirements
Define a custom document interface to link directly to requirements in third-party applications that Requirements Toolbox™ does not have built-in support for. - Manage Navigation Backlinks in External Requirements Documents
Insert hyperlinks between external requirements documents and linked items in MATLAB or Simulink. - Navigate to Requirements in Microsoft Office Documents from Simulink
Navigate to requirements in Microsoft® Office documents by using navigation objects. - Synchronize Requirements Traceability in IBM DOORS by Using Surrogate Modules
Use surrogate modules to stablish traceability from Simulink models to IBM® DOORS® requirements without modifying the requirements modules.
Check Links to Third-Party Applications
- Check Direct Links for Validity
Use Model Advisor checks to detect and resolve outdated and invalid direct links to requirements in third-party applications.
- Identify requirement links with missing documents
- Identify requirement links that specify invalid locations within documents
- Identify selection-based links having description fields that do not match their requirements document text
- Identify requirement links with path type inconsistent with preferences
- Identify IBM DOORS objects linked from Simulink that do not link to Simulink
