Create a new data dictionary myNewDictionary.sldd and represent the Design Data section with a Simulink.data.dictionary.Section object named dDataSectObj.

myDictionaryObj = Simulink.data.dictionary.create('myNewDictionary.sldd')
dDataSectObj = getSection(myDictionaryObj,'Design Data');
myDictionaryObj = 

  data dictionary with properties:

          DataSources: {0x1 cell}
    HasUnsavedChanges: 0
           NumberOfEntries: 0

Change myNewDictionary.sldd by adding an entry named myNewEntry with value 237. View the HasUnsavedChanges property of myDictionaryObj to confirm a change was made.

addEntry(dDataSectObj,'myNewEntry',237);
myDictionaryObj
myDictionaryObj = 

  Dictionary with properties:
