Operator '*' is not supported for operands of type 'cell' after changing the cell

Hello,

So after realizing Runge Kutta I obtain a 49x1 cell that contains 7x7 double variables. Later on I need to remove one row and one column from each variable to obtain a 6x6 double. Finally I need to do operations with those variables but im getting this error Operator '*' is not supported for operands of type 'cell'.

Here my code:

for i=1:(L-1)                                          % calculation loop        
    k_1 = A{i,:}*B{:,i};                               % calculating coefficient
    k_2 = (A{i,:} + (A{i+1,:}-A{i,:})/2)*(B{:,i}+0.5*h*k_1);
    k_3 = (A{i,:} + (A{i+1,:}-A{i,:})/2)*(B{:,i}+0.5*h*k_2);
    k_4 = (A{i+1,:})*(B{:,i}+k_3*h);
    B{:,i+1} = B{:,i} + (h/6)*(k_1+2*k_2+2*k_3+k_4);   % main equation
    
    Ubertragungsmatrix_cell{i,:} = B{:,i};
    Ubertragungsmatrix = cell2mat(Ubertragungsmatrix_cell);
%   New_Last_vektor = mat2cell(cell2mat(Ubertragungsmatrix
end
U2 = Ubertragungsmatrix;
Ubertragungsmatrix(7:7:end,:) = [];
Last_vektor =  num2cell(Ubertragungsmatrix(:,end));
Ubertragungsmatrix(:,end) = [];
Transfer_matrix = mat2cell(Ubertragungsmatrix,[6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6],[6]);

Pu_tr = cell(1,49);
Pn_tr = cell(1,49);
C = num2cell(reshape(Last_vektor(:, end), 3, []), 1);
% C1 = num2cell(cellfun(@(x) {reshape(x, [], 3)}, C));
% [Pu_tr, Pn_tr] = deal(C1{ : });
for ik = 1:49
    Pu_tr{:,ik} = C{:,(ik-1)*2+1};
    Pn_tr{:,ik} = C{:,2*ik};
    Gesamtsystem_zylinder{ik,:} = Transfer_matrix{ik,:};   
end

PV_tr = num2cell(Pu_tr',2);
PN_tr = str2double(Pn_tr');
for ih = 1:2:97
    P_Tank_Reinforcement{ih,1} = - pinv(Gesamtsystem_Zylinder_Matrix{ih,2}) * PV_tr{ih,:}; %-> Here I get my error 
end

How would you solve this?

Please make use of the code button, so it's easier to read.

[Marcelo Boldt]

I think now its updated, thanks for your help

[madhan ravi]

Nope, let me do it this time. You select the entire text first and then press the code button.

[Marcelo Boldt]

Now I can see the difference, thank you again

The two values we are trying to multiply are cell array and one cannot multiply cell arrays.

You might be able to use

Cell1{i1}*Cell2{i2} 

instead, to access the contents of the cell, rather than the cell itself

[Marcelo Boldt]

Great idea, how would you propose to do that?
