Defining the position of element in a multi dimensional array

Hello Everyone!

Here I have a ground plane of certain user inputted dimension. I want to find the distance of each point on the ground plane to the conductor.

The points are defined by u and v with v being along l and u being along b. I need to know how to define the ground plane as a 2 dimensional array.

clearVars

l = input ( 'Enter the length of GND in m =' );

b = input ( 'Enter the breadth of GND in m =' );

c = input ( 'Enter the height of the cable from the GND in m =' );

h = input ( 'Enter the height of the probe line from the GND in m =' );

u = -b / 2: 0.1: b / 2;

v = -1 / 2: 0.2: 1/2;

Hello GEON G BASTIAN,

You can define the ground plane as a 2-dimensional array by declaring a 2-dimensional variable groundPlane whose each element is a cell array consists of 2 elements (u, v) as show below

l = input ( 'Enter the length of GND in m =' ); 
b = input ( 'Enter the breadth of GND in m =' ); 
  
c = input ( 'Enter the height of the cable from the GND in m =' ); 
  
h = input ( 'Enter the height of the probe line from the GND in m =' ); 
  
u = -b / 2: 0.1: b / 2; 
v = -1 / 2: 0.2: 1/2;  
 
for i = 1:numel(u) 
    for j = 1:numel(v) 
        groundPlane{i,j} = [u(i) v(j)];  
    end 
end
