You can create your own package to define custom data object classes that subclass "Simulink.Parameter" and "Simulink.Signal". You can use this technique to add your own properties and methods to data objects. To create a data class package, you can either use a built-in example or manually define the data class. Once the class is defined, you can create instances of these classes for use in Simulink programmatically or through the Model Explorer.
