Not sure of the terminology, but here is some context to hopefully explain it easier: I'm trying to create a function that is finding the optimum dimensions for an "I" beam. This "I" beam has 4 dimensions. a,b,c and h, where h is set and a,b and c can vary as shown in the code below. With h being the height, c the width and a,b being the height and width of one of the "cutout" sections. I picked 10 instances of a,b and c using linspace, and as a,b and c can vary independently I made a 10x10x10 matrix to express each possible outcome. However, I want this matrix (Area) to equal the area of the "I" beam which is given by the equation (Area=ch-2ba).
h = 30;
c = linspace(30,60,10);
b = linspace(1,h-2,10);
a = linspace(1,14,10);
A=[c.*b'];
area = zeros(10,10,10);
for k=1:10
area(:,:,k)=a(k);
end
Area=area.*A;
Is there a way to each of the 1x10 matrics in order to represent the area equation in the 10x10x10 matrix??Is there a way to each of the 1x10 matrics in order to represent the area equation in the 10x10x10 matrix??
