Use this method to assign values at indices in array properties of the different parts of the model object. When there are no indices, you can use set() instead.

To use the setIndex method, use one of these syntaxes:

If <index> points beyond the current size of the array, then the array is extended as needed before element <index> is set. The values of any newly created intermediate elements are undefined.

The name argument is a string with the name of the property. <value> is a string representation of the value to set. A double array element, for example, can still be set from a string representation of the double, typically used when the property value depends on a model parameter. The values can also be a Boolean or a Boolean array. For example:

This code assigns the value for the element with the third index in the array (because the indices are 0-based) of an array property name to be the value value. If the parameter later changes, this property changes accordingly. You can also use an additional input argument for a second index value, for a 2-dimensional array (matrix), for example,

This code assigns the value <value> to the (1, 4) element in a matrix.

For double arrays the modifying method is also of use when assigning the value in MATLAB®, if not all arrays have the same length. When using a cell matrix, all rows must have the same length. The method

is equivalent to the Java® code
