Hello,
From the information shared, I inferred that you would like to clean your code using MATLAB's "for" loop. Assuming there is a collection of transformation matrices T and stiffness matrices K, to calculate the global stiffness matrices Kg for each pair using the "for" loop, please refer to the below-mentioned MATLAB example code for better understanding:
% Define the transformation matrices and stiffness matrices
T1 = ...; % Define your matrix
T2 = ...; % Define your matrix
T3 = ...; % Define your matrix
K1 = ...; % Define your matrix
K2 = ...; % Define your matrix
K3 = ...; % Define your matrix
% Store the matrices in cell arrays for easy iteration and to handle
% different sized matrices
T_matrices = {T1, T2, T3};
K_matrices = {K1, K2, K3};
Kg_matrices = cell(1, length(T_matrices)); % Preallocate cell array for global stiffness matrices
% Loop through each pair of T and K matrices
for i = 1:length(T_matrices)
T = T_matrices{i};
K = K_matrices{i};
Kg = transpose(T) * K * T; % Calculate the global stiffness matrix
Kg_matrices{i} = Kg; % Store the result
end
% Kg_matrices now contains Kg1, Kg2, Kg3 respectively
Please refer to the below-mentioned MATLAB R2024A documentation links to know more about "for" loop, "cell" array and "transpose" function respectively:
