    MATLAB Solve MATLAB Source Potential Flow Issues

    Hey all: I am trying to plot the streamlines of a source flow in MATLAB. I just have a couple issues. First, when I change the strength, it doesn't appear that the streamlines change at all. Second, the three lines commented out below, I used them from an example, but now they don't work...

    Building Microcontrollers with Simulink & RTW

    Bummer. And there seemed to be so many resources out there from the MATLAB people. recommendations as to what I should get for kit and compiler? and a book maybe? I hate finding stuff online, just too frustrating IMO.

    Building Microcontrollers with Simulink & RTW

    OK, you might laugh at me for this, but... I am looking at building microcontrollers, doing simple stuff for now, like cutting power to another controller, or doing a PID controller on a servo. I am thinking about using simulink and real-time workshop to do this. (this is the funny) My...

    Where to Find Moment Coefficients?

    Is there a website that has these? The NASG database doesn't list values, just a plot (not the best way to read values!). The .dat file with each polar curve seems to only be lift, drag, and AoA. Any help is appreciated!

    MATLAB How to Correctly Implement Nested Loops for Surface Plotting in MATLAB?

    Its not an error perse, its just that i get a line in 3d space, when i should be getting a surface plot, because two variables are being varied at all points.

    MATLAB How to Correctly Implement Nested Loops for Surface Plotting in MATLAB?

    Hey guys, Is there anyone good with MATLAB for loops? I am having trouble with getting an embedded loop within another loop to work. I am trying to vary two parameters and create a surface plot with a third variable as the dependant. What I really need help with is how to get the LHS...

    Help Picking a Laptop for Aero Major

    yes, hypersonic's reviews indicated extrememly horrible customer service. I mean, I can handle indian tech support, but that part turned me off in a big way. I have looked into cyberpowerinc, and i am leaning that way if i could get a reply to my inquiry about their modular battery option (the...

    My First Computer, Advice Please

    Now that I see the cover of the python book, i think that is the one my EE friend used to learn python, and he made a program to play tetris, so I am figuring its what I am looking for too.

    My First Computer, Advice Please

    I also assumed he meant general programming, however, I was giving him another point of view. If he can see different ways that people use programming and knows what he wants to do, then he can make a better choice as to what he really needs. You make a good point about most of the...

    Solving an Interesting Computer Problem: Hard Drive Issue

    OK, i built a computer for my step-brother today. After a lot of pain getting it to boot, i got it working. But in windows, the menu for safely removing hardware (like what comes up when you put a usb key drive in) comes up, and the main (only) hard drive is there. but in my computer, it...

    My First Computer, Advice Please

    Ah, chroot, thank you for correcting me. I forgot that those languages run the same in Linux, however, I did recommend linux to him as the best option. I do a lot of numerical work in MATLAB, that is why I said i powerful computer is best. For just python programming or C, you are right...

    My First Computer, Advice Please

    If you want to learn programming really well, I would recommend a powerful computer, it makes life much better. learn linux though for OS, but keep windows. Mac really isn't that great for programming work, linux is prolly the best (if i am wrong, correct me).
