Hi,
I have the following code snippet;
function [mass]=ElementMassMatrix1Bar(rho_E,A_E,E_C,N_C,element_no,p,n_dof)
J=Jacobian(element_no,E_C,N_C);
The function Jacobian is defined in another .m file.
I had thought I should be able call it.
But I get an error that,
function JAcobian not defined.
I am finding it funny because the function JAcobian is called inside another function (say 'X') but X being located in the same .m file as JAcobian.
But when I call JAcobian from a function located in another .m file, it says function not defined error,
Please can anyone help..
Thanks a lot.

Be careful with JAcobian vs Jacobian -- MATLAB considers the two to be different names.
In order to call a function in another file, the file must be named the same thing as the function and the function must be the first thing in the file. The exception to this is if the first function in the file creates a handle to the desired function and puts the handle in a useful place (such as returning it.)
