replace entire mdl file from app designer

My Simulink project (saved as mymodel.mdl) is opened in the Simulink window. I need to replace mymodel.mdl's entire content with the content from some other mdl file when I click a button in an app designed in app-designer (saved as myapp.mlapp). How do I do this?

Hi,

You can copy the contents from one Simulink model to another through appdesigner using subsystem commands. Here is the link you can refer to

https://www.mathworks.com/help/simulink/subsystems.html?s_tid=CRUX_lftnav

Here is the small example to copy contents from one model to a subsystem of other model.

open_system('vdp');
new_system('new_model_with_vdp')
open_system('new_model_with_vdp');
add_block('built-in/Subsystem', 'new_model_with_vdp/vdp_subsystem')
Simulink.BlockDiagram.copyContentsToSubsystem...
('vdp', 'new_model_with_vdp/vdp_subsystem')

Hope this helps!
