SCDconf_createstructfrombus.m

% This function helps creating template simulation input structures
% for From Workspaces blocks feeding bus signals
% Called with a Simulink.Bus object as an input it creates
% a template struct of timeseries filled with 2 timepoints [0,1]
% and with zero data of the correct kind
% This is enough for passing a ctrl-D with from Workspace bus kind blocks
