How do i automatically rename blocks following to the subsystem name?

Hi all,

does someone knows how to write a script that renames every element in a subsystem of simulink(or of every element) following a pattern? The pattern could be for example then: #subsystemname#-#elementname# (result for example: 'Subsystem1-Scope1')

Is there somewhere a built in funcion or what are the commands to do so?

Thanks

Adrian

Hi Adrian,

Here is a small pointer to the solution.

%the following code below should return a list of the blocks in the subsystem 
list_of_block_in_subsystem = find_system('modelName/subsystem', 'type', 'block');

%now on the obtained list one could just run a loop and set the name using set_params 
for i = 1:length(list_of_block_in_subsystem)
if (i==1)
% cache the subsystem name 
subsystem_name = get_param(list_of_block_in_subsystem{i}, 'Name'); 
else
old_name = get_param(list_of_block_in_subsystem{i}, 'Name');
new_name = [subsystem_name '-' old_name];
set_param(list_of_block_in_subsystem{i}, 'Name', new_name);
end
end

Hope this helps !!
