Abstract

A computer-implemented method for generating program code based on one or more blocks of a block diagram, at least one block including a block variable. The method comprises opening the block diagram in a model editor, retrieving generation settings for the block variable from a data definition tool, the generation settings comprising a scope of the variable, determining that a modification rule is referenced in the generation settings, and retrieving the referenced modification rule from the data definition tool, wherein a modification rule comprises a filter condition and one or more code changes. A processor generates program code based on the block diagram and the generation settings and applies the referenced modification rule to the block variable in the generated code, which includes verifying that the filter condition is fulfilled for the block variable and applying the code changes to each occurrence of the variable in the code.
