How to save data into an array from a for loop

This is my code, I need it to run through theta from 1 to 360 degrees, and also run through different values of op for every value of theta. I believe this code does that but I don't know how to save the data from the for loop. Thank you in advance for any advice!

for theta = 1:360

for op = -400:0.5:400

A = [cosd(theta) sind(theta) 0; -sind(theta) cosd(theta) 0; 0 0 1];

Rotstress = A*stress*A.';

oynew = Rotstress(2,2)+op*sind(theta);

oxnew = (Rotstress(1,1))+op*cos(theta);

end

end

It is not possible to use ‘op’ as an index, so it needs to be restated to use it in that context. The ‘theta’ vector can be used as an index without modification here.

opv = -400:0.5:400;
for theta = 1:360 
    for k = 1:numel(opv)
        op = opv(k);
        A = [cosd(theta) sind(theta) 0; -sind(theta) cosd(theta) 0; 0 0 1];
        Rotstress = A*stress*A.';
        oynew(theta,k) = Rotstress(2,2)+op*sind(theta);
        oxnew(theta,k) = (Rotstress(1,1))+op*cos(theta);
    end 
end

I assume the goal is to save ‘oynew’ and ‘oxnew’ so I subscripted them here.

Thank you! I've actually just realised I made a slight mistake in the code I copied, would it be possible to run it from 0:360 degrees? (when I try this it throws errors as I assume it is not an integer position in the array it is being recorded in)

No, MATLAB indexing begins at 1, so the code would have to be —

opv = -400:0.5:400;
thetav = 0:360;
for k1 = 1:numel(thetav) 
    theta = thetav(k1);
    for k2 = 1:numel(opv)
        op = opv(k);
        A = [cosd(theta) sind(theta) 0; -sind(theta) cosd(theta) 0; 0 0 1];
        Rotstress = A*stress*A.';
        oynew(k1,k2) = Rotstress(2,2)+op*sind(theta);
        oxnew(k1,k2) = (Rotstress(1,1))+op*cos(theta);
    end 
end
