addNumericType

Add Simulink numeric type to Simulink interface dictionary

Since R2023a

In R2023b the Architectural Data section of data dictionaries was introduced. When managing interfaces, data types, constants, and software address methods consider using the Simulink.dictionary.ArchitecturalData programmatic interfaces instead. For more information, see Programmatically Manage AUTOSAR Architectural Data.

Syntax

dataType = addNumericType(dictObj,dtName)
dataType = addNumericType(dictObj,dtName,SimulinkNumericType=numericTypeObj)

Description

dataType = addNumericType(dictObj,dtName) adds a Simulink.NumericType with the specified name to the dictionary.

example

dataType = addNumericType(dictObj,dtName,SimulinkNumericType=numericTypeObj) adds a Simulink.NumericType with the specified name that has the same property values as the specified Simulink.NumericType object numericTypeObj to the dictionary.

To add a Simulink.NumericType with the specified name to the dictionary, use the addNumericType function.

dictAPI = Simulink.interface.dictionary.open('MyInterfaces.sldd');
myNumericType = addNumericType(dictAPI,'myNumericType1')
myNumericType = 

  NumericType with properties:

                Name: 'myNumericType1'
        DataTypeMode: 'Double'
    DataTypeOverride: 'Inherit'
             IsAlias: 0
         Description: ''
               Owner: [1×1 Simulink.interface.Dictionary]

To add a Simulink.NumericType that has the same property values as an existing Simulink.NumericType to the dictionary, use the addNumericType function with the SimulinkNumericType parameter.

exampleNumericTypeObj = Simulink.NumericType;
exampleNumericTypeObj.DataTypeMode = 'Single';
exampleNumericTypeObj.Description = 'This is my example numeric type';

dictAPI = Simulink.interface.dictionary.open('MyInterfaces.sldd');
myNumericType2 = addNumericType(dictAPI,'myNumericType2',...
   SimulinkNumericType=exampleNumericTypeObj)
myNumericType2 = 

  NumericType with properties:

                Name: 'myNumericType2'
        DataTypeMode: 'Single'
    DataTypeOverride: 'Inherit'
             IsAlias: 0
         Description: 'This is my example numeric type'
               Owner: [1×1 Simulink.interface.Dictionary]

Input Arguments

collapse all

Interface dictionary, specified as a Simulink.interface.Dictionary object. Before you use this function, create or open dictObj by using Simulink.interface.dictionary.create or Simulink.interface.dictionary.open.

DataType definition name in DataTypes property array of dictObj, specified as a character vector or a string scalar.

Example: "airSpeed"

Simulink numeric type, specified as a Simulink.NumericType object that has been previously defined.

Example: SimulinkNumericType=exampleSimulinkNumericTypeObj

Output Arguments

Numeric type, returned as Simulink.interface.dictionary.NumericType object.
