Hi Lucy, Running on master I get this:
In [13]: sym.BlockMatrix([[a], [phi], [theta]]) Out[13]: ⎡⎡0⎤⎤ ⎢⎢ ⎥⎥ ⎢⎢0⎥⎥ ⎢⎢ ⎥⎥ ⎢⎣0⎦⎥ ⎢ ⎥ ⎢ φ ⎥ ⎢ ⎥ ⎣ θ ⎦ In [14]: sym.BlockMatrix([[a], [phi], [theta]]).shape Out[14]: (11, 1) Note that I've used extra square brackets to indicate that I want these combined column-wise. Without those I get: In [11]: sym.BlockMatrix([a, phi, theta]) Out[11]: ⎡⎡0⎤ ⎤ ⎢⎢ ⎥ ⎥ ⎢⎢0⎥ φ θ⎥ ⎢⎢ ⎥ ⎥ ⎣⎣0⎦ ⎦ In [12]: sym.BlockMatrix([a, phi, theta]).shape Out[12]: (3, 3) It's unfortunate that the sizes aren't checked there since those are inconsistent. It looks like the main problem you're having is fixed in master. What version of SymPy are you using? -- Oscar On Wed, 19 Jun 2019 at 15:15, Lucy Jackson <lucy.jackson....@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi, > > I am looking to concatenate three matrices (shown below) using BlockMatrix, > however, the output has the wrong dimensions. > > theta = sym.MatrixSymbol('theta', 5, 1) > phi = sym.MatrixSymbol('phi', 3, 1) > a = sym.Matrix([[0],[0],[0]]) > > X = sym.BlockMatrix([a, phi, theta]) > > With this code I get the following output: > > X = Matrix([ > > [ 0], > [ 0], > [ 0], > [ phi[0, 0]], > [theta[0, 0]]]) > > > However, I am expecting an output thats 11 x 1.
