MATLAB: How to make a code that store large amount of information from excel into a matrix

excelmatrixnodesoptimizationrearrangeshortcut

I'm trying to recreate the following data in excel sheet and store them in a matrix using MATLAB. Unfortunately, I could not think of the best way to handle this amount of information using MATLAB. Below I have attached the current code that I have and the excel sheet.
Looking for ways to assemble a matrix that looks like this.JPG
clear
clc
numData1=xlsread('Original2.xlsx','original');
FrontFaceElements1=numData1(:,1);
FrontFaceElements1_stress=numData1(:,2);
%Total elements and nodes
%Assemble all nodes and its coordinates in a single matrix
TotalNodes=numData1(:,13);
TotalNodesX=numData1(:,14);
TotalNodesY=numData1(:,15);
TotalNodesZ=numData1(:,16);
TotalNodesMatrix(:,1)=TotalNodes;
TotalNodesMatrix(:,2)=TotalNodesX;
TotalNodesMatrix(:,3)=TotalNodesY;
TotalNodesMatrix(:,4)=TotalNodesZ;
TotalElements=numData1(:,18);
TotalElementstress=numData1(:,19);
%Coordinates of each elements
admittedly, I feel a bit stuck about this. Rather than continuing, Iā€™m wondering if I could lean on your expertise and insights to learn how to do it. Appreciate any form of help. Thank you soo much šŸ™‚

Best Answer

Are you trying to do this:
m = numData1(:,[1:12]);
this should give you a matrix with the first row corresponding to the element number, and the other columns being the node data
