Simulink Data Dictionary is a signal & data maintaining repository where the signals & calibration data maintained in the form of m-script or loaded into the base workspace can be brought together under a single repository.
Unlike other database repositories where the data in it cannot be written or modified, in SLDD, data can be directly modified & edited.
The dictionary stores design data, which define parameters and signals, and includes data that define the behavior of the model. The dictionary does not store simulation data, which are inputs or outputs of model simulation that enter and exit Inport and Outport blocks.
A Simulink data dictionary permanently stores model data, including MATLAB variables, data objects, and data types.
1) In the Simulink Editor, go to the Modeling tab.
2) Click Model Settings to open the Model Properties.
3.In Model properties, choose External Data and click on New to create a new dictionary. Then Apply -> OK.
4. Now save the SLDD with your preferred name.
5. Click on Apply -> OK.
6. Click on the icon at the leftmost bottom of the Simulink screen and click on External Data.
7. Click on Design Data, and you can find a Base workspace.
8. To add Parameters, signals, and variables, click on Add and choose.
9. For example, here, a simulink signal is chosen.
10. The data type , dimensions , min , max value, unit , sample time of the simulink signal can be edited in the Design tab towards the right side of the window.
11. In the Model Hierarchy pane, right-click the Design Data section of the dictionary and select Import from File. Then browse to and select the MAT-file or MATLAB file that contains the data to import.
12. In the Model Hierarchy pane, expand the dictionary node and select Design Data > Export to File. Then save the design data to a MAT-file or MATLAB script.

Tetrahedral is a four- nodded solid element that can be generated through the tria element by creating a volume and also through the existing volume of the geometry. These elements are used where the geometry has high thickness and complexity. The image attached below is a representation of a Tetra element. The Tetra element will have 4 triangular faces with four nodes joining them together

A connector is a mechanism that specifies how an object (vertex, edge, or face) is connected to another object or the ground. By often simulating the desired behaviour without having to build the precise shape or specify contact circumstances, connectors make modeling simpler.

One of the most crucial processes in carrying out an accurate simulation using FEA is meshing. A mesh is composed of elements that have nodes—coordinate positions in space that might change depending on the element type—that symbolise the geometry's shape.
