What Is a Procedure?

A procedure is a series of checks. The checks in a procedure depend on passing the

previous checks. If Check A is the first check in a procedure and Check B follows, the

Model Advisor does not run Check B until Check A passes. Checks A and B can be either

custom or provided by MathWorks.

You create procedures with the ModelAdvisor.Procedure class API. You first add the

checks to tasks, which are wrappers for the checks. The tasks are added to procedures.

See “Create Procedures Using the Procedures API” on page 27-2.

When creating procedural checks, be aware of potential conflicts with the checks. Verify

that it is possible to pass both checks.

Create Procedures Using the Procedures API

You use the ModelAdvisor.Procedure class to create procedural checks.

Add each check to a task using the ModelAdvisor.Task.setCheck method. The

task is a wrapper for the check. You cannot add checks directly to procedures. For

more information, see “Define Custom Tasks” on page 26-14.

Add each task to a procedure using the ModelAdvisor.Procedure.addTask

method.

Define Procedures

You define procedures in a procedure definition function that specifies the properties

of each instance of the ModelAdvisor.Procedure class. Define one instance of the

procedure class for each procedure that you want to add to the Model Advisor. Then
