Evaluating all possible combinations
显示 更早的评论
I am working on designing a composite part. The two main variables are the number of layers i can stack and the orientation of each layer (0,45,90 deg.). In the below image, we can see different layers stacked with different orientations
I am trying to find all possible sequences that can be made, but im not sure how to go about that. For example, if i have 5 layers, how would i determine all the possible sequences?
I've tried perms and nchoosek - don't seem to work, but im not sure why.
Thanks

So for each layer you have 4 possible orientations. Thus if you have N layers, the number of possible arrangements is 4^N. Is this a correct interpretation of what you try to achieve ?

See below for one method to obtain all combinations.
In the resulting matrix, each row represents a combination, the first column holds the angle for the first layers, the second for the second etc.
Hope it helps ;)
% define the angle options for a layer
LayerOptions = [0 -45 45 90];
% define number of layers
NumLayer = 5;
% create place holder for the layers
CellCombo = cell(1,NumLayer);
% assign the options for each layer
CellCombo(:) = {LayerOptions};
% extend the data to obtain the combinations
Combinations = CellCombo;
[Combinations{:}] = ndgrid(CellCombo{:});
Combinations = cell2mat(cellfun(@(m)m(:),Combinations,'uni',0));
% print the result
Combinations
