Input Arguments

collapse all

Component architecture, specified as a systemcomposer.arch.Architecture object. addPort adds ports to the architecture of a component. Use <component>.Architecture to access the architecture of a component.

Names of ports, specified as a cell array of character vectors. If necessary, System Composer™ appends a number to the port name to ensure uniqueness. The size of portNames, portTypes, and stereotypes must be the same.

Data Types: char

Port directions, specified as a cell array of character vectors. A port direction can be either 'in' or 'out'.

Data Types: char

Stereotypes to apply to components, specified as a cell array of systemcomposer.profile.Stereotype objects. Each stereotype in the array must either be a stereotype that applies to all element types, or a port stereotype.

Output Arguments
