Model Complexity Analyzer for Simulink

A Simitro Utility for Subscribers

Estimating the real effort behind a Simulink model is one of the biggest challenges in MBD projects. Hidden subsystems, logic depth, and HIL components make manual estimation slow and inaccurate.

To help engineering teams move faster, Simitro offers this exclusive Model Complexity Analyzer as a utility.

What this tool helps you answer

  • How complex is my model?

  • How many sprints will this take?

  • Where are the hotspots?

  • Is refactoring needed before development?

What it does

Counts all blocks (including masked & nested)

Calculates a practical complexity score

Highlights the largest subsystems

Detects logic-heavy regions

Generates a clean Excel summary for managers and reviews

Just run:

model_complexity_report('your_model.slx')

and get a complete, engineer-ready complexity report in seconds.

Who is it for?

  • MBD engineers

  • AUTOSAR & ISO 26262 teams

  • Anyone estimating modeling effort or sprint timelines
