Hi Arash, I know your issue. You need to edit the VCU118 yellow block masking script. It uses an ES (Engineering Sample). Vivado 2018. 2 has production sample devices. So edit the script, so that xcvu9p-2L-e-eslflga2104, so remove the "es" in the script and it will Work. I have done this in the SARAO repo ska-sa/mlib_devel (devel branch). I am using Ubuntu 16.04LTS, Matlab R2018a and Vivado 2018.2 for SKARAB. Amish Patel, is currently creating documentation that will be added to readthedocs.
I suggest you check the SNAP masking script. I know we had the same issue with SKARAB that uses a virtex 7. The new masking script just required virtex to start with a small "v" instead of a capital "V" and I wonder if SNAP kintex is the same - a change made by Xilinx to the system generator mask. I do remember testing a SNAP model and had no issue, so maybe the fix is already in my ska-sa mlib_devel repo (devel branch). The issues that you are seeing are not surprising. We had many issues. At one point we were using Matlab R2018b, but have decided to use Matlab R2018a with the latest update to fix bugs. We have gone through a lot of effort to port from Matlab R2016b and Vivado 2016.2. I suggest you use our repo as a starting point. I hope this helps.
