What is the advantage of defining a variable as workspace object?

Hello,

What is the advantage of defining a variable as workspace object using simulink.parameter over directly defining a variable (as x = 2)?

Any article or documentation for same will be highly helpful.

Thanks.

Using just a regular variable allows you to define a value for a parameter. However, using a Simulink.Parameter object allows you to specify a lot of other information (see the previous link), like "the parameter's purpose, its dimensions, or its minimum and maximum values". There are additional fields like 'Storage class' and 'Alignment' which are used to achieve advanced features in code generation.

Hello Kaustubha, Thanks for your answer. I want to learn more about these advance features in code generation. If you can suggest some good examples or documentation for the same.
