I have got a long expression called h, which I don't think is relevant to define here for the issue I have. Just know that it was defined through symbols, like

 h=C1*Sin[...]*Integrate[...] etc.

So my definition has no [x_] or := It seems to work well until here (I get the long expression for h in terms of the symbols) Then, what I would like to do is defining a function with all the undefined parameters that appear in h, that is, in my case:

h1[x_,alpha_,beta_,L_,Lc_]=h;

After that, I would like to make a Manipulate plot such as, for example:

Manipulate[
Plot[Re[h1[x, alpha, beta, L, Lc]], {x, 0.1, 1}, 
PlotLegends -> {"h(x)"}], {beta, 0, 1},{alpha, 0, 1},{L, 0, 1},{Lc, 0, 1}]

However, it doesnt work. Where are my mistakes?

Model your code on the following:

Block[{x, a, b}, h[x_, a_, b_] = a Sin[b x]];
Manipulate[
  Plot[h[x, a, b], {x, 0, 10},
    PlotRange -> {-1, 1}],
  {a, -1, 1},
  {b, π/4, 2 π, π/4}]

  • $\begingroup$ What is the block function doing? I would like to remind you also that on the rhs of h[x_,a_,b_] I dont want to right the expression but to state simply h Is that allowed? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ I am getting $Aborted or an empty Plot. I read somewhere else that this is due to long expressions inside Manipulate. Some sort of bug/crash? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @AndreaG. Blockprotects the rhs of the definition from being contaminated by global definitions of x, a and b. Sorry but I can't answer the additional questions. The one about h being allowed make no sense. The one about your crashes/aborts can't be tested without knowing the expression you are using. $\endgroup$
