Abstract: A system and method graphically display ports in a discrete event system (DES) environment. A graphical representation of a model having at least one DES component is provided in the DES environment. A first port of the DES component and a second port of the DES component are indicated by symbols. The first port is indicated by a first symbol representing a port type of the DES environment and the second port is indicated by a second symbol representing a port type of a non-DES environment.

Abstract: A system and method automatically ensures consistency among a design model and one or more test models that test the design model. The system may include a broker adapted to construct an interface specification. The interface specification identifies the interface of the design model, e.g., its external inputs, external outputs, and initialization states. It may also identify the outputs, inputs, and initialization setting objects of the test models. Proposed changes to the design model's interface may be captured by the broker, and applied to the design model and to the test models atomically. Proposed changes to a given test model that implicate the design model's interface also may be captured, and applied to the given test model, the other test models, and the design model atomically. Default behaviors may be defined for applying the proposed changes to the other test models and the design model.

Abstract: A device receives a video file with technical computing environment information, and the video file displays interaction with a technical computing environment. The device plays the video file, and receives the technical computing environment information from the video file when the video file is playing. The device provides the technical computing device information to a local technical computing environment associated with the device.

Abstract: A computing device may create a link between a first attribute of a model and an attribute from a spatial environment. The model, when executed, may simulate the behavior of a system. The computing device may further observe a physical object in the spatial environment, and receive a value of the attribute from the spatial environment based on observing the physical object in the spatial environment. The computing device may also adjust a value of a second attribute, of the model, from a first value to a second value based on the created link and the received value of the attribute from the spatial environment. The computing device may execute the model using the second value.

Abstract: An element of a block diagram may be modified to produce a modified block diagram. A change record including a change entry associated with a modification of the element may be created. A commentary related to the modification may be received. The commentary may be associated with the change entry. The change record may be associated with the modified block diagram. The modification may be displayed. The change entry with the associated commentary my be displayed proximate to the displayed modification.
