Defining a variable based on input

I am trying to create a set of variables based on input.

For example, I have the matrix

angle=[30,45,60]

I do some calculations using each angle and I want to put the results into individual matrices for each angle. I want each matrix to be named partially using the respective input angle. The number of inputs in angle(:) and their values are arbitrary.

For example, the first matrix would be named Qbar30, the second Qbar45, and the third Qbar60. Is there a way to declare variables with an input and a preceding string like 'Qbar'?

If that is what you want, try eval

doc eval

However, you can skip making each variable with a new name and try cell or structure.

This is a very bad idea to create several variables. Just use a cell array to store all your matrices

Thanks for the suggestions. I decided to use a 3-D array.

Good choice!
