Create Multidimensional Optimization Variables

Create a 3-by-4-by-2 array of optimization variables named xarray.

xarray = optimvar('xarray',3,4,2)

xarray = 

  3×4×2 OptimizationVariable array with properties:

  Array-wide properties:
          Name: 'xarray'
          Type: 'continuous'
      IsSubset: 0
    IndexNames: {{}  {}  {}}

  Elementwise properties:
    LowerBound: [3×4×2 double]
    UpperBound: [3×4×2 double]

  See variables with showvar.
  See bounds with showbounds.

You can also create multidimensional variables indexed by a mixture of names and numeric indices. For example, create a 3-by-4 array of optimization variables where the first dimension is indexed by the strings 'brass', 'stainless', and 'galvanized', and the second dimension is numerically indexed.

bnames = ["brass","stainless","galvanized"];
bolts = optimvar('bolts',bnames,4)

bolts = 

  3×4 OptimizationVariable array with properties:

  Array-wide properties:
          Name: 'bolts'
          Type: 'continuous'
      IsSubset: 0
    IndexNames: {{1×3 cell}  {}}

  Elementwise properties:
    LowerBound: [3×4 double]
    UpperBound: [3×4 double]
