Assigning a variable to equal another in a for loop

This is a simplified version of the problem I'm experiencing in my code to illustrate what I want to achieve.

Ele1 = [1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10];

Ele2 = [11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20];

Ele3 = [21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30];

for E=1:3;

    Col1Name = ['Ele' num2str(E) 'Column1'];
    Col2Name = ['Ele' num2str(E) 'Column2'];
    NameEle = ['Ele' num2str(E)];
    Ele = [NameEle];
    a = 1;
    for Col=2:2:10;

        Column1(a)=Ele(Col-1);
        Column2(a)=Ele(Col);

        a = a+1;
    end
    assignin('base', Col1Name, Column1);
    assignin('base', Col2Name, Column1);
end

I want an output of;

Ele1Column1 = [1 3 5 7 9]

Ele1Column2 = [2 4 6 8 10]

Ele2Column1 = [11 13 15 17 19]

Ele2Column2 = [12 14 16 18 20]

Ele3Column1 = [21 23 25 27 29]

Ele3Column2 = [22 24 26 28 30]

But the line "Ele = [NameEle];" doesn't assign Ele to the value of Ele1, Ele2 or Ele3, so it can't be accessed in the inner for loop. My question is to see whether there is a command that I can use that makes Ele = Ele1 without actually typing that in (as that defeats the purpose of the for loop). [Note this is a simplified example of what I'm using it for, if I could perform this function in my actual code it would save a lot of time]. Thank you

Hi, I made some changes to your code, here you are:

Ele = cell(3,1);
Ele{1} = [1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10];
Ele{2} = [11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20];
Ele{3} = [21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30];

for E=1:3;
    Col1Name = ['Ele' num2str(E) 'Column1'];
    Col2Name = ['Ele' num2str(E) 'Column2'];
    tmp_array = Ele{E};
    odd_terms = 1:2:length(tmp_array);
    odd_array = tmp_array(odd_terms);
    even_terms = 2:2:length(tmp_array);
    even_array = tmp_array(even_terms);
    assignin('base', Col1Name, odd_array);
    assignin('base', Col2Name, even_array);
end

Ele = bsxfun(@plus,(0:10:20)',1:10);
EleColumn = permute(reshape(Ele,size(Ele,1),2,[]),[1 3 2]);
