I am looking to solve for the three theta's using sys in an array. How should my code look to make this happen. Heres what I have:

syms theta1 theta2 theta3

eq1 = theta1 == 90-asin((L1-hblock_sub-h_ram-L3*sin(theta2)-L4*sin(theta3))/L5);

eq2 = theta2 == acos(-(L6-L4*cos(theta3)-L5*cos(90-theta1))/L3);

eq3 = theta3 == acos((L6+L3*cos(theta2)-L5*cos(90-theta1))/L4);

sol = solve([eq1 eq2 eq3],[theta1 theta2 theta3]);

hblock = subs(sol.theta1,theta2,theta3);hblock_sub = double(hblock_sub);

Replace 90 by pi/2.

I don't think this will solve your problem, but it's an error in your equations.

Even better:

Use sin(pi/2-x) = cos(x) and cos(pi/2-x) = sin(x).

Hi @Cole Mooney,

From my understanding of your issue, you are trying to solve a set of equations but instead of declaring "theta1", "theta2" and "theta3" separately you want to declare them as part of an array. To accomplish this, you can look through this documentation here. I have tried to implement the same using some random values below.

syms theta [1 3]
L1 = 1;
L2 = 2;
L3 = 3;
L4 = 4;
L5 = 5;
L6 = 6;
hblock_sub = 1;
h_ram = 1;
eq1 = theta1 == 90-asin((L1-hblock_sub-h_ram-L3*sin(theta2)-L4*sin(theta3))/L5);
eq2 = theta2 == acos(-(L6-L4*cos(theta3)-L5*cos(90-theta1))/L3);
eq3 = theta3 == acos((L6+L3*cos(theta2)-L5*cos(90-theta1))/L4);
sol = solve([eq1 eq2 eq3],[theta1 theta2 theta3])

sol = struct with fields:
    theta1: 91.09127337359374229308322484689 + 0.014498593097431429385469218902618i
    theta2: 1.4767379109122526840455134003504 + 0.022557641373024566759457348260003i
    theta3: 0.11249516403464522396375288111294 + 0.0068154950806834305011949243139886i

hblock = subs(sol.theta1,theta2,theta3)

hblock = 

hblock_sub = double(hblock_sub)

hblock_sub = 1
