Abstract
A method for generating program code based on one or more blocks of a block diagram in a technical computing environment, an identifier being assigned to at least one, preferably each, of the one or more blocks of the block diagram. A processor opens the block diagram in the model editor, converts the block diagram to an intermediate representation using the code generator, wherein the conversion comprises checking if a replacement condition is fulfilled for a current block in the block diagram. Checking the replacement condition includes verifying that a predefined functional code unit is assigned to the identifier of the current block, in that case changing the block to a placeholder containing input/output-definitions but no functionality. The processor then converts the intermediate representation to program code, the conversion comprising adding a predefined functional code unit from the data definition tool to the definition code corresponding to the placeholder block.
