need halp with simbolic summation?

I solved the laplace equation and I got a discrete vector of coefficients (A_n) with 100 coefs (n=100)
now the solution is looking like this:
U(i,j)=sum(An.*cosh((pi/b*(1/2+n))*z(j)).*sin((pi/b*(1/2+n))*(x(i)-b)));
where x,z are the coordinates and n is the index
now I need to plot it. the straight forward method would be to calculate the sum in each coordinate, using two for loops
for i=1:length(x)
for j=1:length(z)
U(i,j)=sum(An.*cosh(Ln*z(j)).*sin(Ln*(x(i)-b)));
end
end
I dont want to use repmat tools because x,z can get very large and I also want to check for larger n (n=1000, n=10000) so it will consume too much memory.
Is there a different way to do it? I thought maybe to use symbolic? but I dont know how to use symbolic symsum when A_n is a vector and not an expression.
I tried this:
syms x z b
b=0.3;
U=symsum(An(n).*cosh((pi/b*(1/2+n))*z).*sin((pi/b*(1/2+n))*(x-b)), i, 1, 10);
but it didn't work. any suggestions?

You already have numeric data. Why are you going to symbolic? You are supposed to go the other way. I'd recommend finding a way to optimize your numeric calculations.
