Obtaining the model topology from a Simulink model

Question

I would like to create a structure in Python which represents a Simulink model. I am aware of at least two ways of doing this - by parsing an \".mdl\" file, or by using Matl

Answer 1

Not my area, but noticed this Python parser which may be helpful.

Or you can purchase the Simulink Report Generator in order to save/manipulate the model as a XML file.

Or the *.mdl file is a readable ascii file. You could read it into a string with a fread statement, alter the string, then either save it to your format of choice or write it back out to a *.mdl file. My coworker thought of this, not me! But would require doing the editing/parsing with a routine you write yourself.
