Data stores can allow subsystems and referenced models to share data without having to use io ports to pass the data from level to level. Structure arrays do not require contiguous memory, but their fields do. More than one data store read block can read from the same data store the data store from which the data is read is determined by the location of the data store memory block or signal object that defines the data store.

Matlab to create signal data that you store in a matfile. I use the data store memory block in the model root level. However, a new block mechanism within the simulink language is needed.
Data store memory block within one simulation step. Configure a data store for logging so that you can view the data stored in a simulation run. The data store to which this block writes is determined by the location of the data store memory block that defines the data store. Select the diagnostic action to take when the model contains multiple data stores that have the same name. Signal object in the base workspace disable the diagnostic. The data store rescope tool improves modularity of simulink models by properly scoping data stores, the simulink equivalent of variables in traditional languages.
