Assignin in parfor loop

Hello everybody,
i have a problem with assignin in a parfor loop. For that I made a short example which explains the problem:
for i = 1:10
beta = i;
disp(beta);
end
parfor pi = 1:10
assignin('base','beta',pi);
disp(beta)
end
In the first loop beta gets values from 1 to 10, but in the parfor-loop beta always has value of 10. Why does this happen? I wanted to assignin for a variable as a input for simulink simulations.
Many thanks in advance,
Greetings
Sascha

Doing an assignin('base') is going to change the value in the base workspace, but code executed in parallel is executed in a non-base workspace (because a new process if formed.)
I am surprised assignin() is allowed in a parfor. If the value being assigned varies from loop to loop, the result would be entirely dependent on the order the loops ended up being executed, which is not determinate in parfor()

When you run your code at the command-line, all of the FOR loop body is run in the base workspace - whereas the PARFOR body is not. So, your ASSIGNIN statement is operating correctly, but the second line of your PARFOR loop body is not running in the base workspace - so it actually sees the value of beta set by the prior FOR loop. If you change your PARFOR loop to:
parfor pi = 1:10
assignin('base','beta',pi);
disp(evalin('base', 'beta'));
end
You should get the expected behaviour. Simulink models should also correctly see the value that you assign.
