View Architectural Data of Simulink Data Dictionary in Architectural Data Editor

To view the architectural data of a Simulink^® data dictionary in the Architectural Data Editor, use the show 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.

show(archDataObj);

Architectural data editor showing contents of the Simulink data dictionary MyInterfaces.sldd.

View Data Interface in Architectural Data Editor

This example shows how to view a data interface in the Architectural Data Editor.

Create a Simulink.dictionary.ArchitecturalData object by opening an existing data dictionary.

archDataObj = Simulink.dictionary.archdata.open("myInterfaceDict.sldd")

archDataObj = 

  ArchitecturalData with properties:

    DictionaryFileName: 'myInterfaceDict.sldd'
            Interfaces: [1×1 Simulink.dictionary.archdata.DataInterface]
             DataTypes: [0×0 Simulink.dictionary.archdata.DataType]
             Constants: [0×0 Simulink.dictionary.archdata.Constant]

Create an interface object of the specified data interface.

interfaceObj = getInterface(archDataObj,"DataInterface")

interfaceObj = 

  DataInterface with properties:

           Name: 'DataInterface'
    Description: ''
       Elements: [1×3 Simulink.dictionary.archdata.DataElement]
          Owner: [1×1 Simulink.dictionary.ArchitecturalData]

Use the show function to display the data interface in the Architectural Data Editor.

show(dataInterfaceObj)

Architectural Data Editor window, displays the Interfaces tab. The Data Interface and its three data elements are visible in the Main Contents pane.

View Data Element in Architectural Data Editor

This example shows how to view a data element in the Architectural Data Editor.

Create a Simulink.dictionary.ArchitecturalData object by opening an existing data dictionary.

archDataObj = Simulink.dictionary.archdata.open("myInterfaces.sldd")

archDataObj = 

  ArchitecturalData with properties:

    DictionaryFileName: 'myInterfaces.sldd'
            Interfaces: [1×1 Simulink.dictionary.archdata.DataInterface]
             DataTypes: [0×0 Simulink.dictionary.archdata.DataType]
             Constants: [0×0 Simulink.dictionary.archdata.Constant]

Use the getElement function to access a data element.

dataElem1 = getElement(interfaceObj,"element1")

dataElem1 = 

  DataElement with properties:

           Name: 'element1'
           Type: [1×1 Simulink.dictionary.archdata.ValueType]
    Description: ''
     Dimensions: '1'
          Owner: [1×1 Simulink.dictionary.archdata.DataInterface]

Use the show function to display the data element in the Architectural Data Editor.

show(dataElem1)

Architectural Data Editor window, displays the Interfaces tab. The data interface and its two data elements are visible in the main contents pane.
