addAliasType

Add Simulink alias type to Simulink interface dictionary

Since R2022b

collapse all in page

In R2023b the Architectural Data section of data dictionaries was introduced. When managing interfaces, data types, constants, and software address methods consider using the Simulink.dictionary.ArchitecturalData programmatic interfaces instead. For more information, see Programmatically Manage AUTOSAR Architectural Data.

Syntax

dataType = addAliasType(dictObj,dtName)
dataType = addAliasType(dictObj,dtName,BaseType=baseType)

Description

dataType = addAliasType(dictObj,dtName) adds a Simulink.AliasType with the specified name to the dictionary.

example

dataType = addAliasType(dictObj,dtName,BaseType=baseType) adds a Simulink.AliasType with the specified name using the specified base type to the dictionary.

To add a Simulink.AliasType with the specified name to the dictionary, use the addAliasType function. For an example that shows more of the workflow for related functions, see Create and Configure Interface Dictionary.

% open interface dictionary
dictName = 'MyInterfaces.sldd';
dictAPI = Simulink.interface.dictionary.open(dictName);

% add alias types
myAliasType1 = addAliasType(dictAPI,'aliasType',BaseType='single');
myAliasType1.Name = 'myAliasType1';
myAliasType1.BaseType = 'fixdt(1,32,16)';
 
myAliasType2 = addAliasType(dictAPI,'myAliasType2');
% can also use interface dict type objs
myAliasType2.BaseType = myAliasType1;

Input Arguments

collapse all

Interface dictionary, specified as a Simulink.interface.Dictionary object. Before you use this function, create or open dictObj by using Simulink.interface.dictionary.create or Simulink.interface.dictionary.open.

DataType definition name in DataTypes property array of dictObj, specified as a character vector or a string scalar.

Example: "airSpeed"

Name of the base data type that this alias renames, specified as a character vector or string scalar. You can specify the name of a standard data type, such as "uint32" or "single", or the name of a custom data type, such as the name of another Simulink.AliasType object, or the name of an enumeration.

Example: BaseType='uint32'

Output Arguments

Alias type, returned as a Simulink.interface.dictionary.AliasType object.

Version History

Introduced in R2022b

R2023b: Simulink.interface.Dictionary object replaced by Simulink.dictionary.ArchitecturalData object

Starting in R2023b, use the Simulink.dictionary.ArchitecturalData object to programmatically manage architectural data instead of the Simulink.interface.Dictionary object.
