     identifierName)       ! (input) scalar element parameter

Arguments

identifierName

An element expression in the predefined set AllIdentifiers specifying the identifier for which the unit should be obtained.

Return Value

This function returns a unit. If identifierName is not an identifier, an error message is issued. If identifierName is not a parameter, variable or constraint, the unit [] is returned without further warning.
