Expression is too large for MATLAB to evaluate

Hello everybody, I have a 6x36 symbolic matrix and I wanted to make it a function handle with function matlabFunction. I need to do this because later on I need to evaluate this 6x36 matrix numerically and I've noticed that numerical substitution with function feval is much faster than function subs. Unluckily when I use matlabFunction with the matrix in input I obtain this errore code:

Error using symengine

Error: Expression is too large for MATLAB to evaluate.

Error in symengine

Error in sym/matlabFunction (line 190)

g = symengine('makeFhandle',varnames,body);

I've also tried to simplify the symbolic matrix with the opportune function but the result was the MATLAB crashed twitce. I'm open to other suggestion on how evaluate numerically a symbolic matrix.

No, that answer says that piecewise() now exists as a Symbolic Toolbox function. It has nothing to do with "Expression is too long for MATLAB to evaluate"

Unfortunately, the expression is simply too large for the Symbolic Toolbox to handle.

You will need to do something like taking children() several times, converting the children to function handles, and piecing together calls to the function handles with appropriate joining functions.
