To add a Simulink.dictionary.archdata.ValueType object with a specified name to the data dictionary, use theaddValueType function. For an example that shows more of the workflow for related functions, see Store Data in Architectural Data Section Programmatically.

Create or open a data dictionary. This example adds a value type to the data dictionary MyInterfaces.sldd.

dictName = "MyInterfaces.sldd"; archDataObj = Simulink.dictionary.archdata.open(dictName);

Add a Simulink.dictionary.archdata.ValueType object to the Architectural Data section of a data dictionary. You can set the data type, dimensions, and define a description of the created value type.

myValueType1 = addValueType(archDataObj,"myValueType1"); myValueType1.DataType = 'int32'; myValueType1.Dimensions = '[2 3]'; myValueType1.Description = "I am a Simulink ValueType";

This example adds aSimulink.dictionary.archdata.ValueType object that inherits signal properties from an existing Simulink.ValueType object to the Architectural Data section of a data dictionary, MyInterfaces.sldd.

Create or open a data dictionary.

dictName = 'MyInterfaces.sldd'; archDataObj = Simulink.dictionary.archdata.open(dictName);

Create and define a Simulink.ValueType object.

simValueType = Simulink.ValueType; simValueType.DataType = 'single'; simValueType.Min = 11; simValueType.Max = 17; simValueType.Dimensions = [2 4 3]; simValueType.Description = 'Simulink value type';

Using the addValueType function you can add aSimulink.dictionary.archdata.ValueType object to the Architectural Data section of the data dictionary that inherits signal properties from theSimulink.ValueType object simValueType.

myNewValueType1 = addValueType(archDataObj, 'MyNewValueType',... SimulinkValueType=simValueType)

myNewValueType1 =

ValueType with properties:

       Name: 'MyNewValueType'
   DataType: 'single'
    Minimum: '11'
    Maximum: '17'
       Unit: ''
 Complexity: 'real'
 Dimensions: '[2 4 3]'
Description: 'Simulink value type'
      Owner: [1×1 Simulink.dictionary.ArchitecturalData]
