Iterate over model elements
Syntax
Description
iterate([arch](#mw%5F98476605-290a-4b6f-82b8-6da64834aa26),[iterType](#mw%5Fcd2ed765-dbc3-4212-94a9-66e8df1d8a5e),[iterFunction](#mw%5F5011f772-5152-4506-b6e8-c602d817659d)) iterates over components in the architecture arch in the order specified by iterType and invokes the function specified by the function handle iterFunction on each component.
Note
This function is part of the instance programmatic interfaces that you can use to analyze the model iteratively, element-by-element. The instance refers to the element instance on which the iteration is being performed.
iterate(___,[Name=Value](#namevaluepairarguments)) iterates over components in the architecture using all previous syntaxes with additional options.
iterate(___,[Name=Value](#namevaluepairarguments),[additionalArgs](#mw%5Fb13d6a44-5a4a-4747-ba17-7eada7ba300e)) iterates over components in the architecture with additional options and passes all trailing arguments, specified as additionalArgs, as arguments toiterFunction. Name-value arguments withadditionalArgs must be specified as comma-separated name-value pairs.
Examples
For more information on the battery sizing example, see Battery Sizing and Automotive Electrical System Analysis.
openExample("systemcomposer/BatterySizingAndAutomotiveAnalysisExample") archModel = systemcomposer.openModel("scExampleAutomotiveElectricalSystemAnalysis"); % Instantiate battery sizing class used by analysis function to store % analysis results. objcomputeBatterySizing = computeBatterySizing; % Run the analysis using the iterator iterate(archModel,"TopDown",@computeLoad,"Recurse",true,objcomputeBatterySizing);
Input Arguments
Iteration type, specified as "PreOrder","PostOrder", "TopDown", or"BottomUp".
Pre-order— Start from the top level, move to a child component, and process the subcomponents of that component recursively before moving to a sibling component.Top-Down— Like pre-order, but process all sibling components before moving to their subcomponents.Post-order— Start from components with no subcomponents, process each sibling, and then move to parent.Bottom-up— Like post-order, but process all subcomponents at the same depth before moving to their parents.
Data Types: char | string
Iteration function, specified as a function handle to be iterated on each component.
Additional function arguments, specified as a comma-separated list of arguments to be passed to iterFunction.
Name-Value Arguments
Specify optional pairs of arguments asName1=Value1,...,NameN=ValueN, where Name is the argument name and Value is the corresponding value. Name-value arguments must appear after other arguments, but the order of the pairs does not matter.
Before R2021a, use commas to separate each name and value, and enclose Name in quotes.
Example: iterate(archModel,"TopDown",@computeLoad,"Recurse",true,objcomputeBatterySizing)
Option to recursively iterate through model components, specified as1 (true) to recursively iterate or0 (false) to iterate over components only in this architecture and not navigate into the architectures of child components.
Recurse only applies to systemcomposer.arch.Architecture objects.
Data Types: logical
Option to iterate over components and architecture ports, specified as0 (false) to only iterate over components or1 (true) to iterate over components and architecture ports.
Data Types: logical
Option to iterate over components and connectors, specified as0 (false) to only iterate over components or1 (true) to iterate over components and connectors.
IncludeConnectors only applies to systemcomposer.analysis.ArchitectureInstance objects.
Data Types: logical
Option to ensure iteration order according to how components are connected from source to destination, specified as 0 (false) or1 (true). If this option is specified as1 (true), iteration typeiterType has to be either "TopDown" or"BottomUp". If any other option is specified, the iteration type defaults to "TopDown".
FollowConnectivity only applies to systemcomposer.arch.Architecture objects.

|---|---|---|---|
| Architecture | A System Composer™ architecture represents a system of components and how they interface with each other structurally and behaviorally. | Different types of architectures describe different aspects of systems. You can use views to visualize a subset of components in an architecture. You can define parameters on the architecture level using the Parameter Editor. | Compose Architectures VisuallyAuthor Parameters in System Composer Using Parameter Editor |
| Root | A root is at the top of an architecture hierarchy. A root architecture has a boundary defined by its architecture ports that surround the system of interest. | The root architecture has a system boundary surrounding your architecture model. You can add architecture ports that define interfaces across the boundary. | Compose Architectures Visually |
| Model | A System Composer model is the file that contains architectural information, such as components, ports, connectors, interfaces, and behaviors. | Perform operations on a model including extracting root-level architecture, applying profiles, linking interface data dictionaries, or generating instances from model architecture. A System Composer model is stored as an SLX file. | Create Architecture Model with Interfaces and Requirement Links |
| Component | A component is a replaceable part of a system that fulfills a clear function in the context of an architecture. A component defines an architectural element, such as a function, another system, hardware, software, or other conceptual entity. A component can also be a subsystem or subfunction. | Represented as a block, a component is a part of an architecture model that can be separated into reusable artifacts. Transfer information between components with port interfaces using the Interface Editor, and parameters using the Parameter Editor. | Compose Architectures Visually |
| Port | A port is a node on a component or architecture that represents a point of interaction with its environment. A port permits the flow of information to and from other components or systems. | Component ports are interaction points on the component to other components. Architecture ports are ports on the boundary of the system, whether the boundary is within a component or the overall architecture model. The root architecture has a boundary defined by its ports. | Compose Architectures Visually |
| Connector | Connectors are lines that provide connections between ports. Connectors describe how information flows between components or architectures. | A connector allows two components to interact without defining the nature of the interaction. Set an interface on a port to define how the components interact. | Compose Architectures Visually |

| Analysis | Static analysis analyzes the structure of the system to quantitatively evaluate an architecture for certain characteristics. Static analysis uses an analysis function and parametric values of properties and parameters captured in the system model. | Use analyses to calculate overall reliability, mass roll-up, performance, or thermal characteristics of a system, or to perform a size, weight, and power (SWaP) analysis to increase efficiency. | Analyze Architecture Model Properties with Analysis FunctionAnalyze ArchitectureSimple Roll-Up Analysis Using Robot System with Properties |
| Analysis function | An analysis function is a MATLAB® function that computes values necessary to evaluate the architecture using the properties of each element in the model instance and instance-specific parameters at the component and architecture levels. | Use an analysis function to calculate the result of an analysis. | Analysis Function ConstructsWrite Analysis Function |
| Instance model | An instance model is a collection of instances. | You can update an instance model with changes to a model, but the instance model will not update with changes in active variants or model references. You can use an instance model, saved in a MAT file, of a System Composer architecture model for analysis. | Run Analysis Function |
| Instance | An instance is an occurrence of an architecture model element at a given point in time. | An instance freezes the active variant or model reference of the component in the instance model. | Create a Model Instance for Analysis |
