How would I properly go about creating this function?

I am doing a project to practice matlab and thought it would be best to be put into a function. This is my function and the rest of my code, I have variables t_values, height_values, and width_values that need to be used outside of the function, but I do not know how to use them from inside the function. These equations are going to be different for the different beams which is why I decided to create a general function. Thanks!
l = 70*12; %length
maxHeight = 12; %maximum height of beam
maxWidth = 10; %maximum width of beam
minHeight = 3; %minimum height of beam
minWidth = 3; %minimum width of beam
maxDef = 10; %maximum beam deformation
w = 3; %distributed load
p = 500; %point force
a = l/3; %distance to point force
E_alum = 9.9*10^6; %aluminum stiffness
E_steel = 28*10^6; %steel stiffness
E_ti = 16*10^6; %titanium stiffness
den_alum = .098; %aluminum density
den_steel = .286; %steel density
den_ti = .16; %titanium density
E = [E_alum, E_steel, E_ti];
density = [den_alum, den_steel, den_ti];
%For combined load
I_min = (w*(l^4)./(E.*30.*maxDef))...
- ((p*(a^2)*((3*l)-a))./(E.*6.*maxDef));
disp('I-Beam');
I-Beam
A_horizI = width_values.*t_values; %Area of flanges

I_I_beam = I_vertI + 2.*(I_horizI + A_horizI.*((height_values./2)-(t_values./2)).^2); %I for I beam

% Calculate weight using the provided weight function

[min_weight, min_index] = min(weight);
optimal_I = valid_I(min_index);

What is the objective here? What are you trying to do?
Which values are the inputs? Which parameters are outputs? Which quantities are constants?

What is "width_values"? You never set it equal to anything so of course it complains.

Width_ values was set in the function. So that’s what I’m trying to figure out is how to use it with the equations that need it outside the function as well as the other equations that use it within the function.

It was not set before you tried to use it. Maybe you set it later but if you use it it must be assigned first. Tell me the line of code where you actually assigned values to width_values.
