Export sldd to base workspace and get all entries

Hello, How to export entries present in simulink data dictionary to base workspace or in var in 2016 version following code is working for 2014

hDict = Simulink.dd.open([dict_name,'.sldd']);
  childNamesList = hDict.getChildNames('Global');
  for n = 1:numel(childNamesList)
    assignin('base',childNamesList{n},hDict.getEntry(['Global.',childNamesList{n}]));
  end

The method you show for 2014 uses an undocumented internal API which is subject to change without notice. Beginning with release R2015a there is a documented API for accessing Simulink Data Dictionaries. One way to implement the code you have shown using the documented API would be:

hDict = Simulink.data.dictionary.open([dict_name,'.sldd']);
hDesignData = hDict.getSection('Global');
childNamesList = hDesignData.evalin('who');
for n = 1:numel(childNamesList)
  hEntry = hDesignData.getEntry(childNamesList{n});
  assignin('base', hEntry.Name, hEntry.getValue);
end

I want to export SLDD to Excel, is there any way ?

How to get the Object class type (prameter / Simulink) for workspace or from SLDD (Object)

Thanks a lot, Donn, you have really helped me.

And Sabarirajan, this is what I do to export SLDD to Excel

% 指定 SLDD 文件路径
dict_name = 'myNewDictionary'
hDict = Simulink.data.dictionary.open([dict_name,'.sldd']);
section_name = 'DesignData';

hDesignData = hDict.getSection('Global');
childNamesList = hDesignData.evalin('who');

% 创建一个 cell 数组来存储所有的数据
data = cell(length(childNamesList), 2);

name_cell = repmat({''}, length(childNamesList), 1);
value_cell = repmat({''}, length(childNamesList), 1);
obj_type_cell = repmat({''}, length(childNamesList), 1);
DataType_cell = repmat({''}, length(childNamesList), 1);
StorageClass_cell = repmat({''}, length(childNamesList), 1);
HeaderFile_cell = repmat({''}, length(childNamesList), 1);
DefinitionFile_cell = repmat({''}, length(childNamesList), 1);
Dimensions_cell = repmat({''}, length(childNamesList), 1);

for n = 1:numel(childNamesList)
    hEntry = hDesignData.getEntry(childNamesList{n});

    % 存储条目名称和值到 cell 数组中
    data{n, 1} = hEntry.Name;
    data{n, 2} = hEntry.getValue;

    name_cell{n} = hEntry.Name;

    obj = data{n,2};

    if strcmp(class(obj),'Simulink.Bus')
        % do nothing
    else
        if strcmp(class(obj),'Simulink.Parameter')
            if strcmp(obj.DataType,'single')
                value_cell{n} = sprintf('%f ',obj.Value);
            else
                value_cell{n} = sprintf('%d ',obj.Value);
            end
             HeaderFile_cell{n} = obj.CoderInfo.CustomAttributes.HeaderFile;
             DefinitionFile_cell{n} = obj.CoderInfo.CustomAttributes.DefinitionFile;
        end

        DataType_cell{n} = obj.DataType;
        
        StorageClass_cell{n} = obj.CoderInfo.StorageClass;
        Dimensions_cell{n} = sprintf('%d ',obj.Dimensions);
       
    end
    obj_type_cell{n} = class(obj);

end

tb = table(name_cell, obj_type_cell,DataType_cell,value_cell,StorageClass_cell,HeaderFile_cell,DefinitionFile_cell,Dimensions_cell);

% 将数据写入 Excel 表格
writetable(tb,'outputTB.xlsx','AutoFitWidth',false)
