System Design Description Report
The System Design Description report describes a system design represented by the
current Simulink model.
You can use the System Design Description report to:
• Review a system design without having the model open.
• Generate summary and detailed descriptions of the design.
• Assess compliance with design requirements.
• Archive the system design in a format independent of the modeling environment.
• Build a customized version of the report using the Simulink Report Generator
software.
To generate a System Design Description report that includes requirements information:
1
Open the model for which you want to create a report.
2
Select File > Reports > System Design Description.
3
In the Design Description dialog box, select Requirements traceability.
4
Select any other options that you want for this report.
5
Click Generate.
As the software is generating the report, the status appears in the MATLAB
command window.
The report name is the model name, followed by a numeral, followed by the extension
that reflects the document type (.pdf, .html, etc.).
If your model has linked requirements, the report includes a chapter, Requirements
Traceability, that includes:
• Lists of model objects that have requirements with hyperlinks to display the objects
• Images of each subsystem, highlighting model objects with requirements
Design Requirements Report
In the Simulink Editor, the menu option File > Reports > System Requirements
creates a requirements report, as described in “Create Default Requirements Report”
