    Syntax

    dataType = addNumericType(archDataObj,dataTypeName)
    dataType = addNumericType(archDataObj,dataTypeName,SimulinkNumericType=numericTypeObj)

    Description

    dataType = addNumericType(archDataObj,dataTypeName) adds a Simulink.dictionary.archdata.NumericType specified by dataTypeName to archDataobj, the Architectural Data section of the data dictionary.

    example

    dataType = addNumericType(archDataObj,dataTypeName,SimulinkNumericType=numericTypeObj) adds a Simulink.dictionary.archdata.NumericType that has the same property values as the specified Simulink.NumericType object numericTypeObj.

    To add a numeric data type with a specified name to the data dictionary, use the addNumericType function. For an example that shows more of the workflow for related functions, see Create Architectural Data Object and Use It to Configure Architectural Data.

    archDataObj = Simulink.dictionary.archdata.open("MyInterfaces.sldd");
myNumericType = addNumericType(archDataObj,"myNumericType1")
    myNumericType = 

  NumericType with properties:

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

    To add a numeric data type that has the same property values as an existing Simulink.NumericType data type to the data dictionary, use the addNumericType function specifying the SimulinkNumericType name-value argument.

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

archDataObj = Simulink.interface.dictionary.open('MyInterfaces.sldd');
myNumericType2 = addNumericType(archDataObj,'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.dictionary.ArchitecturalData]

    Input Arguments

    Architectural Data object, specified as a Simulink.dictionary.ArchitecturalData object.

    Data type definition name of archDataObj, specified as a character vector or a string scalar.

    Example: "airSpeed"

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

    Example: SimulinkNumericType=exampleSimulinkNumericTypeObj

    Output Arguments
