Can anyone help me?

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...

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.

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...

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!

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.

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 dependent. What I really need help with is how to get the LHS...

yeah, its SATA. that was my first use of those, so thanks for the info!

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...

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.

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...

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...

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...

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).

Hey, I need some help in picking a new laptop. I am an aero major, so I will be doing MATLAB, some Python, solidworks, excel, that sort of thing. and music, lots of music! I am currently between the dell inspiron 6000 and the hypersonic aviator MX6. I am not sure which to choose...
