dSPACE Model Compare 3.2HF1 (HF603013) Mar 2022 Last-Minute Information ===================================================== Copyright (c) 2022 dSPACE GmbH, Germany Contents: 1. General 2. Problems Fixed by This Hotfix 3. Limitations and Workaround 4. Installing the Hotfix ===================================================== 1. General ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This hotfix can be installed only after the installation of Model Compare 3.2 from dSPACE Release 2021-B or 2022-A. 2. Problems Fixed by This Hotfix ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This hotfix fixes the following problem(s): 1. Error Messages are printed on MATLAB command line when dumping models (ds_mdl2xml). These look similar to the following example: *** ERROR *** Data for function_handle could not be retrieved. Dot indexing is not supported for variables of this type. The reason is that Model Compare 3.2 might not dump all Simulink model data if it can not retrieve the parameter values of objects like function_handle, Simulink.HMI.SignalSpecification or Simulink.HMI.ParamSourceInfo. Note that despite the messages, the dump file is successfully created and can be used for comparison and merging. Only the parameters mentioned in the messages are missing. Further note that these Simulink parameters are usually filtered for the model comparison but should nevertheless be considered, if desired by the user. Therefore, the hotfix fixes the reading of such parameters and also changes the message title to Warning / Limitation. It is recommended that this hotfix for Model Compare 3.2 is installed by all users. 3. Limitations and Workaround ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The hotfix fixes the problem of Model Compare 3.2 as described above.
