importFromFile

Import Simulink object definitions

Since R2022b

Syntax

importFromFile(dictObjmatFileName)

Description

importFromFile(dictObjmatFileName) copies Simulink.Bus, Simulink.ValueType, and Simulink.AliasType objects from the specified MAT file to the interface dictionary identified by dictObj. The Simulink.Bus objects are imported as data interfaces. For those objects that need to be used as structure DataType, these objects can be cut and pasted in the interface dictionary to the Interfaces tab after the import operation.

Import Buses, Value Types, and Alias Types to Simulink Interface Dictionary

To import Simulink.Bus, Simulink.ValueType, and Simulink.AliasType objects from the specified MAT file to the interface dictionary, use the importFromFile function. For an example that shows more of the workflow for related functions, see Create and Configure Interface Dictionary.

importFromFile(dictAPI,'myMatFile.mat');

Input Arguments

`dictObj` — Interface dictionary
`Simulink.interface.Dictionary` object

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.

`matFileName` — MAT file name
character vector | string

Name of MAT file, specified as a character vector or string. The name must include the .mat extension and must be a valid MATLAB^® identifier.

Example: 'myMatFile.mat'

R2023b: `Simulink.interface.Dictionary` object replaced by `Simulink.dictionary.ArchitecturalData` object

Starting in R2023b, use the Simulink.dictionary.ArchitecturalData object to programmatically manage architectural data instead of the Simulink.interface.Dictionary object.
