Repeating the values

I have two vectors .. ztop and z

ztop shows the depth of each layer (cumulative value of z in each layer) . ztop has 11 values

z shows points in that depth .. it approximately increases by 0.02 in each layer. ( it has 3670 values)

each layer has its gamma and its ztop .. ( both have 11 values)

what I need is to write a program that will repeat gamma values for each z

so I get the 3670 gamma values .

In the first layer instead of having one gamma( 17 kN/m3) one value for all the layer , I need to get a vector which repeat this gamma as many as z in this particular layer .. and do the same for the rest layers.

Can you help me with that?

Hi,

Do you mean like this?

Do you mean something like this?

But why would you need to do that? I've probably misunderstood what you need!

Well, I need to do that to satisfy the European code reiquirements. hhhhhh if it was for me I don't want to do it at all

What I mean is why not just use the scalar values in the calculations at each level without constructing a large vector of repeated values? It seems incredibly inefficient!!

No, z has only 3669 values and the increment is not approx. 0.02 but exactly 0.01 m !

Hope you have not typed in all those values manually but rather copied them from an Excel sheet 🙂

So you want to use the exact gamma value for the layer and do not want gamma to be interpolated?

So maybe this could help:

BTW, it would be much easier to create the vector z either using a range and convert it to a vector or create the vector directly using a small program.

You may also use a worksheet range variable instead of the program with the for-loop, but I would prefer the programmed variant

BTW, even though you did in previous threads, you should always state which version of Prime you are using if its not the latest. You can avoid that way to be sent a file you can't open.
