Building 1D array with scalar elements

Solved!
Go to solution

I must be overlooking something here, but I cannot seem to build a 1D array from scalar elements, here's an example of what I'm trying to do...

 

Capture.PNGCapture2.PNG 

 Instead of having the scalar element appended to the first element of the array I would like each scalar element to be added to each element of the array (the array should read: {0,1,2,3,4}).  The help file is a little misleading here... "If all the inputs are scalar elements, Concatenate Inputs is automatically deselected and cannot be selected, and the output is a 1D array containing the elements in order", but instead of putting them in order it just writes over the previous one.

 

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hi all..  

 

Does anyone know how to build an array, from a set of scalar values, in the same way, but without the knowledge of how big the array is going to be?

 

I have a routing that will create values, from a formula, and place them one by one into the array.  But, the number of values changes each time, so I can't write a value to 'N' in the for loop.

 

How can I get around this? 

 

 

Cheers!

 

Paul..

Use a while loop and determine when to exit the while loop.

 

Per default indexing is disabled on a while loop but you can activate it  (right click on the tunnel)
