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

    Properties

    Dictionary of service interface, specified as a systemcomposer.interface.Dictionary object.

    Parent model of service interface, specified as a systemcomposer.arch.Model object.

    Service interface name, specified as a character vector or string. This property must be a valid MATLAB® identifier.

    Example: "newInterface"

    Data Types: char | string

    Elements in interface, specified as an array of systemcomposer.interface.FunctionElement objects.

    Service interface description, 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

    Universal unique identifier, specified as a character vector.

    Example: '91d5de2c-b14c-4c76-a5d6-5dd0037c52df'

    Create a new model.

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

    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.
