I am having trouble with my indices in a nested for loop. Python is spitting out an index error telling me my index is out of bounds.
Below are my code and subsequent error:
from math import *
import numpy as np
from scipy import integrate
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import os
croot = 1
ctip = 1
span = 1
thetaroot = 0
thetatip = 0
a0root = 0.11
a0tip = 0.11
alpha = 0
alpha0root = -2.5
alpha0tip = -2.5
thetaroot = thetaroot * arctan(1.) / 45.
thetatip = thetatip * arctan(1.) / 45.
alpha = alpha * arctan(1.) / 45.
alpha0root = alpha0root * arctan(1.) / 45.
alpha0tip = alpha0tip * arctan(1.) / 45.
n = 10
theta = np.empty(n, dtype = object)
y = np.empty(n, dtype = object)
c = np.empty(n, dtype = object)
cl = np.empty(n, dtype = object)
alp = np.empty(n, dtype = object)
a = np.empty(n, dtype = object)
rhs = np.empty(n, dtype = object)
b = np.empty(n, dtype = object)
a = np.empty(n, dtype = object)
rhs = rhs[:,None]
b = b[:,None]
a = a[:,None]
#
# Define properties at n span stations
#
pi = 4. * arctan(1.)
for i in range(0,n):
theta[i] = i * pi / (2. * n)
y[i] = span * 0.5 * cos(theta[i])
c[i] = croot + (ctip - croot) * y[i] * 2. / span
alp[i] = alpha + thetaroot - (alpha0root + (alpha0tip - alpha0root + thetaroot - thetatip) * y[i] * 2. / span)
a[i] = a0root + (a0tip - a0root) * y[i] * 2. / span
pi = 4. * arctan(1.)
# Set up 2n x 2n system of equations for A1, A3 , ... A2n-1
for j in range(0,n):
mu = c[j] * a[j] / (4. * span); print('mu=',mu)
rhs[j,0] = alp[j] * sin(theta[j]) * c[j] * a[j] / (4 * span)
for i in range(0,n):
l = 2 * i - 1
b[j,i] = sin(l * theta[j]) * (mu * l + sin(theta[j]))
I then receive the error:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
IndexError Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-70-b5bd95e69bb5> in <module>()
45 for i in range(0,n):
46 l = 2 * i - 1
---> 47 b[j,i] = sin(l * theta[j]) * (mu * l + sin(theta[j]))
48
49
IndexError: index 1 is out of bounds for axis 1 with size 1
How can I effectively call out both indices? In MATLAB, b(j,i) is the normal syntax.
Any help is appreciated, thanks!

The call b = np.empty(n, dtype = object)
with n=10
makes a one-dimensional array, but you are indexing into it (b[j,i]
) as though it is a two-dimensional array.
To initialize a 10 by 10 array, you would call b = np.empty([n, n], dtype = object)
.
EDIT:
I didn't notice this assignment: b = b[:,None]
That creates this:
>>> [[None]
[None]
[None]
[None]
[None]
[None]
[None]
[None]
[None]
[None]]
which is a two-dimensional array, but trying to index past the first element of the inner array (containing just None) is causing your error.
