I have created a model using pdetool command and kept the model under a function with name 'heat.m' as follows:
function A = heat (B,~)
Model = createpde('thermal','transient');
............
C = B/3.2;
E = C/5.;
..........
end
Calling the above function within a for loop in separate script file. The for loop are as follows:
t1=0:0.1:1;
for j=1:length(t1)
D(j) =.....;
A = heat (D(j));
end
I am not getting any results. I understand that I am doing wrong while calling input variable B. At each iteation, the variable B will be replaced by D(j). How can I replace the input variable correctly?

"I am not getting any results."
Please explain exactly what you expect, and what you observe (and how you are checking it).
"I understand that I am doing wrong while calling input variable B."
Why do you understand that? The most obvious bug I can see is the lack indexing into the output array, which means that your code will overwrite all A data except for the data from the last iteration.

Code is showing that it is running but not giving any output.
You are right. Output array is the problem. Trying to solve the problem.

The function definition indicates that A is the output array.
function A = heat (B,~)
But at least from what's shown here, A is never defined within the function scope, so nothing will be returned.
