Facing issue to create enum type

Hello,

I am trying to create enum data type. and below is the my smaple code.

classdef OstMode_test < Simulink.IntEnumType
  enumeration
    Disabled(1)
    PredOst(2)
    OST(3)
    Both(4)
  end
  methods (Static)
    function retVal = getDefaultValue()
      retVal = OstMode_test.Both;
    end
  end

If I run same file on command window I am getting below error.

Error using OstMode_test
Cannot call the constructor of 'OstMode_test' outside of its enumeration block.

Can any body please help me out.

You're declaring the enum properly.

The problem is when using it, you should declare the datatype as Enum: OstMode_test and not OstMode_test directly.

hello, you can ref https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_oop/enumerations.html

in fact what you need do is put the class define file(xxx.m) in in project folder, without run it.

the simulink will automatic match the def.

hope this helps you.
