sbioroot - Return SimBiology^® root object

Syntax

rootObj = sbioroot modelObj = sbioroot('modelName')

Arguments

`rootObj`	Return `sbioroot` to this object.
`modelObj`	Return the model with name `modelName` to this object.
`modelName`	Specify the name of the model that is on the root object.

Description

rootObj = sbioroot returns the SimBiology root object to root. The SimBiology root object contains a list of the top-level SimBiology model objects, available units, unit prefixes, and available abstract kinetic law objects.

modelObj = sbioroot('modelName') returns the SimBiology model with name, modelName to modelObj. A SimBiology model object has its Parent property set to the SimBiology root object.

The units define the set of built-in units and user-defined units. See Unit object for more information.

The unit prefixes define the set of built-in prefixes and user-defined prefixes. See Unit Prefix object for more information.

The abstract kinetic law objects define the built-in abstract kinetic law objects and user-defined abstract kinetic law objects. The process of defining a reaction requires the use of abstract kinetic law objects when configuring a SimBiology reaction object's KineticLaw property with the addkineticlaw function.

To add a unit, prefix or abstract kinetic law to the root ( in the user-defined library), use the sbioaddtolibrary function. To remove, use sbioremovefromlibrary.

The models opened in the SimBiology desktop are stored in the root object.

Examples

Get all SimBiology model objects contained by the root.

rootObj = sbioroot;
allmodels = get(rootObj, 'Models');

Get the model with name cell.
```
