How to get the port domain or type of a simscape block programmatically?

Hi I am trying to get information of a simscape block about its port domains. With "domains" I mean, if its a mechanical rotational, electrical,... port. I couldn't find any way to get this information programmatically, maybe there is someone who had this problem before :)

Thanks!!

Hi Jonas,

i'm currently dealting with the same problem.

For me using try catch worked using the add_line command. Probably this works for you as well.

It is not the cleanest solution unfortunately. Or did you find any way to work around the problem?

Best

Hi Jonas,

To get information of Simulink or Simscape blocks, you can use 'get_param' function. You can use 'get_param('blockPath', 'ObjectParameters')' and 'get_param('blockPath', 'DialogParameters')' to see all the properties that can be accessed programmatically.
