Hi,
after running my script I have all my variables in the workspace. I saved the workspace in a .mat file (using the save workspace option), unfortunately when I open it later on I always get the message " the file is corrupted". Could it happen because the file is too big? In case how to properly save large workspace?
thanks a lot.

I don't know how large is the file, but I assumed it is quite big because there are several matrices (1000x35040). It would be important for me to save it entirely, because it takes a while for running the simulation, therefore it would be easier.

Try saving the data with the '-v7.3' flag. For example,
A = rand(5);
B = magic(10);
save('example.mat','A','B','-v7.3')
According to save, this flag/switch has Version 7.0 features, plus support for data items greater than or equal to 2 GB on 64-bit systems.
