Vector imbalance error in while loop

I am trying to plot based on a certain situation. In the first to situation (Beam. Load == 1 and Beam.Support == 1) and (Beam. Load == 1 and Beam.Support == 2), I need to create two sets of y values and two sets of x values and then join them together such that x1 is the x values and y is y values. When I run this script in MATLAB the other cases work, but not the one stated above. Instead MATLAB returns the error:
In an assignment A(I) = B, the number of elements in B and I must be the same.
Error in Beam_Deflection_GUI>process (line 395)
y1(i) = (F.*x.^2/6*E*I).*(3*a-x); % 0<x<a
Error while evaluating uicontrol Callback
Here is the Code:
I = Beam.Inertia;
a = Beam.Location;
F = Beam.Magnitude;
L = Beam.Length;
b = Beam.Length-Beam.Location;
x = linspace(0,Beam.Length);
o = Beam.Magnitude/Beam.Length; % Magnitude is them same as the force
y1 = zeros(1,100);
y2 = zeros(1,100);
x1 = zeros(1,100);
x2 = zeros(1,100);
i = 1;
Beam.x1 = x;
if Beam.Load == 1 % Referring to the point in the list during the selection
if Beam.Support == 1
while x(i) < a
y1(i) = (F.*x.^2/6*E*I).*(3*a-x); % 0<x<a
x1(i) = x(i);
i = i + 1;
end
while x(i) <= L && x(i) < a
y2(i) = (F.*a^2/6*E*I).*(3*x-a); % a<x<L
x2(i) = x(i);
i = i+1;
end
Beam.y1 = [y1, y2];
Beam.x1 = [x1, x2];
else % x.Support == 2
while x(i) < a
y1 = (F*b.*x/6*L*E*I).*(L^2-x.^2-b^2); % 0<x<a
i = i+1;
x1 = x(i);
end
while x(i) <= L
y2 = (F*b/6*E*L*I).*((L/b).*(x-a).^3+(L^2-b^2).*x-x.^3);% a<x<L
i = i+1;
x2 = x(i);
end
Beam.y1 = [y1, y2];
Beam.x1 = [x1, x2];
end
else % x.Load == 2
if Beam.Support == 1
Beam.y1 = (o.*x.^2/24*E*I).*(x.^2+6*L^2-4*L.*x);
else % x.Support == 2
Beam.y1 = (o.*x.^2/24*E*I).*((L^3-2*L.*x.^2)+x.^3);
end
end

You may have meant:
y1(i) = (F.*x(i).^2/6*E*I).*(3*a-x(i)); % 0<x<a
Otherwise you are trying to put numel(x) elements into a single element of y1.

If all of the x(i) < L then you "run off the end" of x. You increment i and blindly use x(i) without checking to see if the new "i" is after the end of "x".

It would be better to check that your increment variable (i) is not larger than the length of the vectors involved.
X = [1 5 2 4 3];
L = length(X);
ii = 1;
while ii<=L
X(ii) = X(ii) + 10;
ii = ii + 1;
end
X
But, if you know you are just going to increment through the vector elements, why not use a FOR instead?
X = [1 5 2 4 3];
for ii = 1:length(X)
X(ii) = X(ii) + 10;
end
X

Your loop is while x(i) < a implying that x is a vector. But then you have
y1(i) = (F.*x.^2/6*E*I).*(3*a-x);
and if x is a vector then the result of the calculation is going to be a vector, and you then try to store that vector into the single result y1(i) .
Perhaps you want
y1(i) = (F.*x(i).^2/6*E*I).*(3*a-x(i));
and similar fixes in other lines.

Ok I have fixed the first issue but now I am receiving the error:
Attempted to access x(101); index out of bounds because numel(x)=100.
Error in Beam_Deflection_GUI>process (line 415)
x2 = x(i);
Error while evaluating uicontrol Callback
I have turned the all the x into x(i) but I still get that error. Any ideas?
