Since R2022a

    Description

    A FunctionArgument object describes the attributes of an argument in a function element systemcomposer.interface.FunctionElement.

    Creation

    Set a function prototype using the setFunctionPrototype function and then get a function argument using the getFunctionArgument function.

    setFunctionPrototype(element,"y=f0(u)")
    argument = getFunctionArgument(functionElement,"y")

    Properties

    Type of function argument, specified as a systemcomposer.ValueType object.

    Dimensions of function argument, specified as a character vector or string.

    Data Types: char | string

    Description of function argument, specified as a character vector or string.

    Data Types: char | string

    Unique external identifier, specified as a character vector. The external ID is preserved over the lifespan of the element and through all operations that preserve the UUID.

    Data Types: char

    Examples

    collapse all

    Create a new model.

    model = systemcomposer.createModel("archModel","SoftwareArchitecture");
    systemcomposer.openModel("archModel");

    Create a service interface.

    interface = addServiceInterface(model.InterfaceDictionary,"newServiceInterface");

    Create a function element.

    element = addElement(interface,"newFunctionElement");

    Set a function prototype to add function arguments.

    setFunctionPrototype(element,"y=f0(u)")

    Get a function argument.

    argument = getFunctionArgument(element,"y")
    argument = 
    
      FunctionArgument with properties:
    
          Interface: [1×1 systemcomposer.interface.ServiceInterface]
            Element: [1×1 systemcomposer.interface.FunctionElement]
               Name: 'y'
               Type: [1×1 systemcomposer.ValueType]
