Examples
This example shows how to create a user-defined unit, add it to the user-defined library, and query the library.
Create a user-defined unit called
usermole
, whose composition ismolecule
andMultiplier
property is6.0221e23
.unitObj = sbiounit('usermole', 'molecule', 6.0221e23);
Add the unit to the user-defined library.
sbioaddtolibrary(unitObj);
Query the
Multiplier
property.get(unitObj, 'Multiplier') ans = 1/molarity*second
