The cell array is a Matlab container for the storage of series of objects in the memory workspace. Individuals elements are accessed or created with the curly bracket {} notation. Cell arrays are available both in Matlab and in the standalone versions of Dynamo.


Basic syntax

A complete description can be found in the [ https://uk.mathworks.com/help/matlab/cell-arrays.html | matlab page]

Some basic example a = {}

creates an empty cell array called a in the memory workspace.

a = {'hello','bye'}; creates a cell array that contains the strings hello and bye


Cell arrays in Dynamo

Cell arrays are frequently of interest for Dynamo users that need to perform operations that are complicated or not available through the GUIs.

Operating of models

Extracting model files from a catalogue

The names of the model files in a catalogue can be easily extracted with the command line dcm utility
