To provide the bus to models that use the library blocks without relying on the base workspace, you can consider using Simulink data dictionaries. Data dictionaries allow you to store and manage data definitions, including bus objects, separately from the models.
Here's a suggested approach:
1. Create a new data dictionary in Simulink by going to the "File" menu, selecting "New", and then choosing "Data Dictionary".
2. Open the data dictionary and define your bus objects using the "Bus Editor" tool. You can create the buses manually or import them from your existing .m file.
3. Save the data dictionary.
4. In your library file, replace the code that creates the buses in the base workspace with code that retrieves the buses from the data dictionary.
- First, load the data dictionary using the `Simulink.data.dictionary.open` function.
- Then, use the `getBusObject` function to retrieve the bus object from the data dictionary.
Here's an example:
% Load the data dictionary
dictionary = Simulink.data.dictionary.open('path/to/your/dictionary.sldd');
% Retrieve the bus object from the data dictionary
busObject = getBusObject(dictionary, 'YourBusObjectName');
5. Update your library blocks to use the `busObject` instead of accessing the bus directly from the base workspace.
By using data dictionaries, you can ensure that the bus definitions are centralized and can be accessed by any model that references the data dictionary. This approach enhances modularity and makes it easier to manage and update the bus definitions across multiple models.
