Import images for requirements via reqIf file

I have a little problem with simulink requirements:

I want to import some images for my requirements via an reqif file and xhtml. The images are saved in a separate folder and the main aspect was to import them via the command: <xhtml:object data="export/fancyName.png" type="image/png"></xhtml:object> (which works with ReqIfStudio) but I only get the "broken Image"-Icon.

I also tried to do some reversed engineering and tried to save the images first in simulink requirements and after that export it as reqIf. There I say that the image is saved encoded. But it would be an major effort to encode all my images.

Therefore my question: Does somebody knows who do import the images via an xhtml command or do I really have to encode all of my images?

Hi Karolin,

Do you have a .reqifz or reqif file? reqif file is the plain xml file, but reqifz is kind of zip file which includes the reqif xml plus the attachments.

It's just a reqif. I had the naive hope, that if it's similar to normal html programming, where it is enough to just give the path to the image and they will be imported by the tool (in this case simulink requirements).

How did you generate that ReqIf file please?

Hi Karolin,

Please try the following steps to see whether it works:

1. You can create a folder which contains:

youreqif.xml - xml

export - folder

fancyName.png -- your image file inside export.

2. Then in this folder, create zipfile to include everything. e.g. youreqif.zip

3. Next, rename

yourreqif.zip -> yourreqif.reqifz

4. Try import yourreqif.reqifz using Simulink Requirements

Hope this helps.
