How can I set class properties with a vector from another script?

Hey everybody,

I'm currently trying to set up a Matlab Class for some calculations. I the Class are a lot of functions to calculate the different variables for the maincalculation at the end of the class-script. I set the input values as the class properties. And this is where the problems begin. I want to set these properties with a vector from a different script which is later supposed to run a global optimization. I cannot figure out a way to do that, I've searched a lot in the Community and on Google.

This is what my class-properties currently looks like:

classdef Holtrop 
    %UNTITLED2 Summary of this class goes here
    %   Detailed explanation goes here
    
    properties 
                    g =  9.81;
                    vis = 1.1392e-06;
                    rho = 1025.8;

        Lwl 
        B 
        V 
        T_F 
        T_A 
        T 
        depl 
        lcb 
        A_WL 
        C_Stern 
        A_BT 
        S_APP 
        APP_factor 
        h_B 
        A_T 
        d = -0.9;
    end
    
    methods (Static)
    
    end

All the properties without a value are supposed to be set with a vector from a different script.

Any help would be geratly appreciated!

Greetings,

Leon

In your class construct you could let it accept input parameters.

e.g.,

methods
    function this = Holtrop(varargin)
        % for example
        Lwl = varargin{1};
    end
end
