Hi,
By reproducing your code,I have understood that the line causing the error is this
x_3 = X_3*sin(((s(3)*omega_T*time) - alpha(s(3))));
Reason for this is , variable s is of type 1*1 double .So s(3) is not defined.This is because the variable s is defined in 'for' loop as index.When defined as index it increments from initial value to final value and only final value is stored in it at the end of loop execution.
You can add the following line after for loop
for s = 1:num_terms
r(s) = s.*(omega_T / omega_n);
tan(s) = (2*zeta.*r) / (1-(r.^2));
alpha(s) = atan(tan(s));
end
s=1:num_terms;
Now s is 1*5 double of values [1,2,3,4,5].
Hope this helps!
