I want to make several matrices from variables taken from user in a loop while performing some operation on them. I have attached a simplified code for my problem. So I want matrices from 1 to k but it is not working. Guide plz

for i=1:k                           %loop for data input of k layers

   E1(i)=input ('Enter E1 ');
   E2(i)=input ('Enter E2 ');
   v12(i)=input ('Enter v12 ');
   G12(i)=input ('Enter G12 ');

   %calculation of paramters for the same layer 
   a(i)=E1(i)+E2(i)^2;
   b(i)=E1(i)+E2(i);
   c(i)=E1(i)+2*v12(i));
   d(i)=E1(i)+2*G12(i);
   e(i)=E2(i)-E1(i);
   f(i)=v12+G12;

   %stacking them in a matrix for that layer
   Matrix(i)=[a(i) b(i) c(i); c(i) d(i) e(i); d(i) e(i) f(i)]
end

Try this out.

maxLoops = 10; % set this value
matrixCollection = cell(maxLoops,1); % Initialize matrix collection
for i = 1:maxLoops,
    % get inputs
    % perform calculations
    % stacking them in a matrix for that layer
    matrixCollection{i}=[a(i) b(i) c(i); c(i) d(i) e(i); d(i) e(i) f(i)];
end

Each matrix will be stored within cells of the cell array called matrixCollection.

Hope this helps.
