Strings Not being read properly during simulation

[ohs18]

Hi,

I am running a simulation where I run an activity diagram that passes a block's value properties into a matlab function called by an opaque behavior. Most of the value properties I am passing are integers, but I am also trying to pass a couple string value properties as well. When I run the simulation, I can see the Name and the default value properly display in the variables pane. For example, I have a value property called "location" with a default value of "United States" which is of type string. However, when I type the the variable name in the command window with Matlab as the language, it displays as "[]", which I am assuming is an empty array. I'm not sure why this is happening or how to fix it, so any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hello. In version 19.0, Cameo cannot pass strings between itself and MATLAB. I've heard this is fixed in newer versions but I have not tried so I cannot say for sure. I've been converting strings to bits to pass between the two and then reassembling them into strings on the receiving end.
