Using for loop to create an off diagonal elements

[Rusyaidi_arif_cute]

The 1d array would be Nx1
I am trying to create a bus admittance matrix for power system flow.

Here are the links
https://circuitglobe.com/bus-admittance-matrix.html

for now i want to make diagonal part to be zero so that i can learn easier

another one is here

I started using LabView last year so its hard for me to fully understand them.

I am unsure of something like inplaceelement & shift register because my understanding of LabView functions are new.
how does shift register work in arrays? do they shift values from column to column or row to row?

A shift register does not shift anything, it is just a memory location that you initialize coming into the loop, read and modify inside the loop and write it back to the same location on the right. When the loop ends, the final content is available at the output.

The NxN Y matrix is based on the elements of another NxN matrix and there is much more symmetry than what you were telling us earlier.

Where does the 1D array fit into all of that?

So, setting the diagonal to zero wasn't even your problem? Why did you even bother asking us? It helps to fully formulate the problem instead of solving things that are not even needed in the end!

You. Need. To. Start. With. The. Basic. Tutorials!

It is confusing to call both input arrays Y, but I assume that the elements with single indices are from the 1D array and vice versa.

Here's maybe something to ponder (and I did not even need a shift register!)

[Rusyaidi_arif_cute]

Maybe its true because i just jump right through wihtout any basic LabView knowledge. 
Thank you for the advice!

[Rusyaidi_arif_cute]

This is almost similiar on what I wanted to achieve.

Nevertheless, I could try to tweak a little bit or by using shift register (which im still learning) so that i could satisfy my output.
Thank you so much sir for your patience and for guiding me!

i was trying out a bunch of things here but i finally got the results eventhough it is not in graphical language form.
May i know what are the downside of using Matlab script?

I have attached the file.

• You need Matlab installed.
• You need a Matlab license.
• You transfer data from LabVIEW to a 3rd party software: this will take its time...
• You transfer data from Matlab to LabVIEW: this will also take time...
• ...

If it is a few lines of Matlab code, the LabVIEW equivalent will fit in a postage stamp am will be much more efficient.

I don't trust code that has measles (look at all the coercion dots!). An error terminal does not belong on top of a script mode!

I don't have Matlab installed.

At least resize the script so we can see all the text!
