How do I access a structure which is available inside a method of a class?

if true
  classdef test1
  %UNTITLED Summary of this class goes here
  %   Detailed explanation goes here

    properties
    end

    methods
        function example(obj)
        ...
        % The calculation Part
        ...
        stru % The calculation part returns "struct" which is a structure
             %with 5 fields and these 5 fields have some sub fields in them

    end
  end

The above shown code is my class(test1) which has a method named "example" which calculates a structure named "stru". Stru is a structure with 5 fields and those 5 fields in turn have 3 subfields. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My Question: How can I access the structure "stru" in some other method of a different class but which is also stored in the same working directory. Please note, I am using both classes in my GUI.

Store it as a property of the class:

classdef SomeClass < handle
  %UNTITLED Summary of this class goes here
  %   Detailed explanation goes here

    properties
        aStruct
    end

    methods
        function method1(obj)
            obj.aStruct = struct('hello',1);
        end
        function method2(obj)
            disp(obj.aStruct)
        end
    end

end

Using it:

x = SomeClass
method1(x)
method2(x)

Thanks for your quick response. In your code, If I already have two other properties defined and they are being used in the same method, How can I access this propoerty in specific? Excuse me If my question is very naive. I have Included my doubt in the code below.

if true
  % classdef SomeClass < handle
%UNTITLED Summary of this class goes here
%   Detailed explanation goes here

    properties
        aStruct
bInfo
cInfo
    end

    methods
        function method1(obj)
            obj.aStruct = struct('hello',1);
obj.bInfo = blabla;        
end
        function method2(obj)
            disp(obj.aStruct)
        end
    end

So Now how do I access the aStruct in some other class and not in the same class. Thanks a lot.

That other class' method would have to receive the object as an input

otherclassmethod(other_class_obj, some_class_obj)
some_class_obj.aStruct.b
