matrix balance question / Help Request

[Tim_C.]

Is there a way to balance / rearrange the numbers in a matrix so the colums total the same or approximately the same?

I have the professional developer sutie but am not familuar with the matrix VIs so some guidance would be appreciated.

Project goal:

To balance three phase power panel loads

1.  Set the three phase loads aside as they are a given

2.  Balance the single phase loads and then treat the results as a single three phase load

3.  Work the two wire loads in by doing some math comparison.

Best Regards

I see the balance matrix VI but I have a 1D array.

How do I get the 1d array into a temporary 3X3 matrix then balance the matrix?

Thanks

Here is an attempt that doesn't perform the balancing desired.

Find an error in the input matrix creation, corrected that to match possible real scenerio.  But still unable to get it to balance.

Tim C.,

The balance matrix function you are using does not do what you are wanting.  This function is used to improve the accuracy of computed eigenvalues and eigenvectors.

You will need to create your own algorithm to perform the function you are doing, and it would probably be easier to do in array form.

Additionally, the reason your second set of VIs are not returning anything for the 'balanced matrix' is because it is not an 'N x N' matrix.
