Tips

Use the close function in a custom MATLAB function to disassociate a Simulink.data.Dictionary object from a data dictionary. Custom MATLAB functions can create and store variables and objects in function workspaces but cannot delete those variables and objects.
The close function does not affect the content or the state of the represented data dictionary. The function does not discard unsaved changes to the represented dictionary or entries. You can save or discard them later.
