check out a matlab code method

Hello everyone, I'm deeply sorry to ask this question, because i could'nt resolve it . I'm using R2024a matlab version, and I wanna know how to check a matlab code i mean ( array, matrix,...) . In this part, I would know how to get those errors messages?

if Bearing_Type == 7 % fluid film bearings - based on short width bearing theory

if ncol_bearing < 7, disp('>>>> Error - too few columns in bearing definition matrix for bearing type 7'), end

if Rotor_Spd == 0, disp('>>>> Error - bearing type 7 - fluid bearing model undefined at zero speed'), end

F = Bearing_Def(i,3); % static load (N) colonne 3,The static bearing's force needs to be calculated.

D = Bearing_Def(i,4); % bearing diameter (m) colonne 4

L = Bearing_Def(i,5); % bearing length (m) colonne 5

c = Bearing_Def(i,6); % bearing radial clearance (m) colonne 6

eta = Bearing_Def(i,7); % oil viscosity (Ns/m^2) colonne 7

model.bearing = [7 1 Bearing1_diam Bearing1_clear Bearing1_wid Lubricating_oil_number eta; ...

7 12 Bearing2_diam Bearing2_clear Bearing2_wid Lubricating_oil_number eta];

If the conditions such as ncol_bearing<7 is met, then you emit an error message, and continue on in the code, including the assignment to model.bearing. I would suggest that if the error messages are omitted, that you want to skip the assignments. Consider using an if / elseif / else structure, or consider using assert

Would be more helpful to see more of the function context, but a couple of recommendations

Firstly, for the diagnostics, parameter validation portion, look at the <Arguments Definitions> section and the <arguments> block.

Secondly it would make using the function and argument list far simpler it you were to use a struct or object definition for the bearings and then an array of those rather than having so many individually-named like variables. Using sequentially numbered variable names such as you have is generally a sign of not using the power of MATLA vector operations which is the strong point of the language.

TYPES={7,7};
DIAMS={diam1,diam2};
CLEAR={clear1. clear2};
WIDTH={wid1, wid2};
OIL=Lubricating_oil_number;
ETA=eta;
Bearings=struct('Type',TYPES,'Diam',DIAMS,'Clearance',CLEARS,'Width',WIDTH,'LubeOil',Oil,'Eta',ETA);

Then you can just pass the Bearings struct array. with all the needed informtion defining each bearing and then what other specific arguments individually.

It helps if you indent your code properly and put one line of code per line. Try this:

if Bearing_Type == 7       % fluid film bearings - based on short width bearing theory
    % First, validate input parameters, exiting if any is wrong.
    if ncol_bearing < 7
        errordlg('>>>> Error - too few columns in bearing definition matrix for bearing type 7')
        return; % No sense in continuing after an error.
    end
    if Rotor_Spd == 0
        errordlg('>>>> Error - bearing type 7 - fluid bearing model undefined at zero speed')
        return; % No sense in continuing after an error.
    end
    
    % If you get this far, all is good.
    F   = Bearing_Def(i,3);   % static load (N) colonne 3,The static bearing's force needs to be calculated.
    D   = Bearing_Def(i,4);   % bearing diameter (m) colonne 4
    L   = Bearing_Def(i,5);   % bearing length (m) colonne 5 
    c   = Bearing_Def(i,6);   % bearing radial clearance (m) colonne 6
    eta = Bearing_Def(i,7);   % oil viscosity (Ns/m^2) colonne 7
    
    model.bearing = [7 1 Bearing1_diam Bearing1_clear Bearing1_wid Lubricating_oil_number eta; ...
        7 12 Bearing2_diam Bearing2_clear Bearing2_wid Lubricating_oil_number eta];
end % of if Bearing_Type == 7
