    Syntax

    constObj = addConstant(archDataObj,constName)
    constObj = addConstant(archDataObj,constName,value)

    Description

    example

    constObj = addConstant(archDataObj,constName) adds a constant with the specified name constName to the archDataObj, the Architectural Data section of a data dictionary and returns the constant object that represents the constant.

    example

    constObj = addConstant(archDataObj,constName,value) adds a constant with the specified value to the data dictionary and returns a constant object that represents the constant.

    archDataObj = Simulink.dictionary.archdata.open("MyInterfaces.sldd");
myConst = addConstant(archDataObj,"myConstant")
    myConst = 

  Constant with properties:

           Name: 'myConstant'
          Value: 0
       DataType: 'double'
    Description: ''
          Owner: [1×1 Simulink.dictionary.ArchitecturalData]

    Add a constant with a specified value.

    myCylinders = addConstant(archDataObj,"numOfCylinders",Value=4)
    myCylinders = 

  Constant with properties:

           Name: 'numOfCylinders'
          Value: 4
       DataType: 'double'
    Description: ''
          Owner: [1×1 Simulink.dictionary.ArchitecturalData]

    Input Arguments
