Why do I get this error message: Undefined function or variable 'equationsToMatrix'.

Hello everyone,

I have written a code on a desktop at my University and I ran it and it worked. However, when I saved and ran the exact same code on my laptop it returns with the following error message:

Undefined function or variable 'equationsToMatrix'.

Error in Eq_Solver (line 54)
    [AA,BB] = equationsToMatrix([eq1, eq2, eq3, eq4],[A1, B1, A2, B2])

I searched about it and I saw some people in the community mentioning that this may be because of not having Symbolic Math Toolbox installed. When I checked the addons explorer, I found the Symbolic Math Toolbox installed, however when I typed "ver" in the command window I did not see Symbolic Math Toolbox installed.

The code:

 syms t
 syms A1 B1 A2 B2
 Omega = 200;
 M11 = 5.0;
 M12 = 0;
 M21 = 0;
 M22 = 1.0;
 C11 = 3;
 C12 = -1;
 C21 = -1;
 C22 = 1;
 K11 = 400;
 K12 = -150;
 K21 = K12;
 K22 = 150;
 M = [M11 M12; M21 M22];
 C = [C11 C12; C21 C22];
 K = [K11 K12; K21 K22];

 F1 = 2*Omega^2;
 F2 = 0.1*Omega^2;
 F = [F1*sin(Omega*t); F2*cos(Omega*t)];

 eq1 = K11*(B1) + K12*(B2) - M11*(B1*Omega^2) - M12*(B2*Omega^2) + C11*(A1*Omega) + C12*(A2*Omega) == 0;
 eq2 = K11*(A1) + K12*(A2) - M11*(A1*Omega^2) - M12*(A2*Omega^2) + C11*(-B1*Omega) + C12*(-B2*Omega) == F1;
 eq3 = K21*(B1) + K22*(B2) - M21*(B1*Omega^2) - M22*(B2*Omega^2) + C21*(A1*Omega) + C22*(A2*Omega) == F2;
 eq4 = K21*(A1) + K22*(A2) - M21*(A1*Omega^2) - M22*(A2*Omega^2) + C21*(-B1*Omega) + C22*(-B2*Omega) == 0;

 [AA,BB] = equationsToMatrix([eq1, eq2, eq3, eq4],[A1, B1, A2, B2]);

I feel kind of lost on what I should do now!

Thanks in advance!

Can we see your code

[Zeyad Elsayed]

I included the code in the original question.

I would suggest using the installer to reinstall the symbolic toolbox
