How to save dictionary to a mat file

I could not save dictionary to a mat file using Save Dict D,where Dict is the mat file and D is the dictionary

[Walter Roberson]

What happened when you tried?

Try

save('Dict.mat', 'D');

[D Joseph]

when the dictionary is stored as a mat file, first it cannot be stored. Later when it can be stored , it cannot be loaded into another file. When I'm trying to solve it into another .m file , error is shown . what to do to solve this problem.

I am assuming you're using a Simulink Data Dictionary in R2015a (which is when the official API for data dictionaries came out).

What you need to do is extract whichever of the 3 sections (Design Data, Configurations, and/or Other Data) you need. Then, you can use exportToFile as shown below:

>> d = Simulink.data.dictionary.open('dictionaryName.sldd');
>> data = getSection(d,'Design Data')
>> exportToFile(data,'Data.mat')
