Step 2 : AUTO ASSEMBLY upon empty architectures

This step 2 and the following one 3 both deal with auto assembly Simulink functionality :

• • this Step 2 : upon empty architecture

  • and Step 3 : upon not empty architecture

Building architectures is a specifc task explained in step 5. Architectures used in step 2 and 3 are already designed.

When starting designing a model, architecture may not be very clear.

It might be convenient to start with an empty architecture.

MecaTroniX includes some architectures as a start (see step 5).

One of them is the empty architecture archi_empty_vU0.

Exactly like modules and assemblies, architectures are reachable through the ARCHITECTURES view toggle button :

By selecting the family archi_empty, list of versions is displayed :

Like a module, by selecting a version, the pushbutton Open becomes available :

Then the selected architecture is open :

Inside and as expected, there is no SubSystem (called room), only one inport and one outport :

Note that contrary to module, this is not a library and there is no calibration script for an architecture.

In next step 2a, an assembly will be auto assembled upon this empty architecture.
