"create a 3D map of 101 sets of data, "
Can you explain precisely what the end result wanted is and what the data are/how they relate to the desired result?
As to alternatives, I'd probably start with something like--
d=dir('F1--Trace-no loop-0000--0000*.csv'); % return all files
for i=numel(d)
tmpData = readmatrix(d(i).name, 'NumHeaderLines',1);
...
It's what's next that depends on what it is wanting to do with the data and what it is that the data are.
