    To add a Simulink enumeration with a specified name to the data dictionary, use the addEnumType 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.

    Create or open a data dictionary. This example uses a previously created data dictionary MyInterfaces.sldd.

    dictName = "MyInterfaces.sldd";
archDataObj = Simulink.dictionary.archdata.open(dictName);

    Add enumerated data type objects to the data dictionary using the addEnumType function. You can specify the name, default value, storage type, and write a description of the enumerated data type using the enumerated data type object.

    myEnumType1 = addEnumType(archDataObj,"myColor");
myEnumType1.addEnumeral("RED",'0',"Solid Red");
myEnumType1.addEnumeral("BLUE",'1',"Solid Blue");
myEnumType1.DefaultValue = 'BLUE';
myEnumType1.Description = "I am a Simulink Enumeration";
myEnumType1.StorageType = 'int16';
