Part Collections
Part collections help you create, share, and install parts for Simscape™ blocks. Parts contain block parameter data and metadata. When you
author a part collection, you start by parameterizing a block and storing that
parameter data to a BlockDataSet object. Convert each
BlockDataSet object to a JSON part file. You can create a new
collection or use an existing collection to store each part. When you build the
collection, Simscape generates an MLDATX file that you can share. To install a
collection, double-click the MLDATX collection file. Installing the collection makes
the parts available from the Block Parameterization Manager tool.
Some blocks have available parts installed by default. You cannot edit, uninstall, or use the same name as a part in a default collection.

Featured Examples
Create a Block Data Set and Edit Metadata
Create a block data set from a Simscape block and edit the metadata.
Manage Block Data Sets with JSON Files
Update block parameter data in a JSON file. Simscape uses JSON files to store block parameter data and metadata. To update a block data set contained in a JSON file:
Create a Part Collection
Create a part collection and add Simscape parts to the collection.
Create and Install MOSFET Part Collection
Create and install a part collection from a parameterized MOSFET (Ideal, Switching) block. Creating a part collection allows you to reuse sets of parameter values in future designs or share them with others. This example is step three in a series of examples that take you through parameterizing a MOSFET (Ideal, Switching) block and creating a part collection.
