Why does the "Simulation Model Converter" create a 1-D array when a subsystem is converted

[talvi]

Hi,

I want to convert a complex Simulink Simulation with many subsystems into LabVIEW VI. One Problem I have is the one in the subject. I attached a simple example Simulink file and the result of the "Simulation Model Converter" where my problem occurs. 

In this example I have two equal block diagrams, with the differnce, that the one below uses a subsystem (that only contains a gain). But why is the data inside the sub system a 1D array? Is that necessary? If I change the array by hand into a normal constant, the simulation still works. Is there a way to prevent this wrong conversion.

Thank you

Hello Talvi,

I am guessing that you do not have Simulink installed on the computer where you are doing the conversion.  If you do the conversion on a computer where Simulink is installed, you will get better results.  This is mentioned in the help topic: Using the Simulation Model Converter.  If you are still having trouble, can you please let us know which versions of the software involved you are using?

Hi,

no, there ist Simulink installed. I use different Computer one with LabVIEW 8.5 and Simulink R 2007a and an other PC with LabVIEW 8.2 and Simulink R2006b. I found out that, if I have a new build Simulink simulation and do the conversion bevor I run the sim the first time, it is converted correct. But if I run the Simulink sim first and then convert it into LabVIEW, than the converter creates the 1D array instead of a normal constant.

Kind regards,
