Import and Export Architecture Model

Import models from third-party tools and export them with System Composer changes

System Composer allows you to import an architectural model that was created in a third-party database or architecture modeling tool like Microsoft® Visio or Sparx Enterprise Architect, edit it, and export it back, including all of the changes. Build your custom import and export layers, create an architecture model, and export back the modified model.

To build a System Composer model, you can import information about components, ports, and connections in a predefined format using MATLAB tables. You can extend these tables and add information like applied stereotypes, property values, linked referenced models, variant components, and interfaces.

Similarly, you can export information about components, hierarchy of components, ports on components, connections between components, linked referenced models, variants, stereotypes on elements, and interfaces.

With these APIs, you've to build your own custom import/export layers which can convert these MATLAB tables to a Visio model or vice versa.

This is not helpful as it just regurgitates the info from the help article that the OP already mentioned. What would be helpful is a brief walkthrough of how to convert the MATLAB tables from the export into a Visio diagram. There is a walkthrough on the MS Office Support site for importing data into Visio, but clearly this MATLAB-to-Visio process is not seamless. A separate but enormous benefit would be to save the Architecture Views as PDF or image files (e.g. - PNG, JPEG, etc) for insertion into presentation documents or printing. If MATLAB/Simulink want to be an MBSE tool suite, then it must have the capability to generate model artifacts, and right now that is lacking.

Hi @MIN GU PARK,

Could you help us understand the use case better? Is this for reporting purposes? If so, System Composer now has several reporting options available using Simulink Report Generator including Interactive HTML Web Views and Report Generation.

If you still need to get to Visio, please feel free to reach out to us and we'll be happy to help you figure out a path forward:

Hello there,

You can convert a system composer model to Visio by using the following methods:

--> Export the data in to excel from system composer

--> Data import to Visio using VBA

If you need help, let me know.

I can guide you.

Thanks and regards,

Anusree
