Hi in the following script if my value pass through my switch func I want to change its value in my array called name(1,i) by the new value created and can't find how.

Nlayer = input('enter the number of layers :');



airin = 8.3;    %Hc
gypse = 12.5;   %C
air = 0.025;    %k
conblock = 5;   %C
wool = 0.0499;  %k
brick = 0.72;   %k
airout = 34;    %Hc

for i = 1:Nlayer;
    name(1,i) = input('enter the name of the layers in order, inside to outside :');
    switch name(1,i);
        
        case air;
            
            L_air = input(' enter the thickness in mm :');
            air = air/L_air
                          
        case brick;
           
            L_brick = input(' enter the thickness in mm :');
            brick = brick/L_brick
                          
        case wool;
            
            L_wool = input(' enter the thickness in mm :');
            wool = wool/L_wool
    end  
end

Hey,

What do you mean when you say "change its value in name array"?

I'm assuming you want to take the updated values of air, brick etc... into the name array and that is as direct as assigning to name(1, i).

air = air/L_air;
name(1, i) = air;

And it is good practice to allocate space to name array as you already know the size(Nlayer) to which it will grow later.

name = zeros(1, Nlayer);
