Loop to populate a 12 by 12 matrix

Hello Guys,

I am tryling to form a 12 by 12 matrix for 11 elements. I am getting some errors. Take a look at my code below: it looks perfect to me but it is not working

SC1=rand(11,1);% Test Data
SC2=rand(11,1);
SC3=rand(11,1);
SC4=rand(11,1);
SC5=rand(11,1);
SC6=rand(11,1);
SC7=rand(11,1);
SC8=rand(11,1);
n=size(SC8,1);
K1=zeros(12,1);
K2=zeros(12,1);
K3=zeros(12,1);
K4=zeros(12,1);
K5=zeros(12,1);
K6=zeros(12,1);
K7=zeros(12,1);
K8=zeros(12,1);
K9=zeros(12,1);
K10=zeros(12,1);
K11=zeros(12,1);
K12=zeros(12,1);
K=zeros(12,12);
for i=1:n
    K1(i)=[SC1(i);0;0;0;0;0;-SC1(i);0;0;0;0;0];
    K2(i)=[0;SC6(i);0;0;0;SC2(i);0;-SC6(i);0;0;0;SC2(i)];
    K3(i)=[0;0;SC7(i);0;-SC3(i);0;0;0;-SC7(i);0;-SC3(i);0];
    K4(i)=[0;0;0;SC4(i);0;0;0;0;0;-SC4(i);0;0];
    K5(i)=[0;0;-SC3(i);0;(2*SC5(i));0;0;0;SC3(i);0;SC5(i);0];
    K6(i)=[0;SC2(i);0;0;0;(2*SC8(i));0;-SC2(i);0;0;0;SC8(i)];
    K7(i)=-K1;
    K8(i)=-K2;
    K9(i)=-K3;
    K10(i)=-K4;
    K11(i)=[0;0;-SC3(i);0;SC5(i);0;0;0;SC3(i);0;(2*SC5(i));0];
    K12(i)=[0;SC2(i);0;0;0;SC8(i);0;SC2(i);0;0;0;(2*SC8(i))];
    K(i)=[K1(i) K2(i) K3(i) K4(i) K5(i) K6(i) K7(i) K8(i) K9(i) K10(i) K11(i) K12(i)];
end

Thank you so much Walter. It worked. You are an excellent person. The only challenge is that working with the code in struct is different than in a double.
