A computer implemented method for generating embedded code from a graphical model which includes: acquiring at least one condition related to at least one code generation goal, the at least one code generation goal being used to generate embedded code from the graphical model in a graphical modeling environment, the at least one code generation goal relating to a characteristic of the code to be generated from the graphical model, the graphical model representing a dynamic system having time-changing behavior modeled with differential, difference, and/or algebraic equations, the graphical model being capable of simulation based on the equations; and identifying, using a microprocessor, conditions that are inconsistent with the at least one code generation goal.
