How do i set a cut off point for for loops?

I am working on a structural analysis problem for a beam with two loads and need to plots deflections based off the loads. I have two for loops set up so the loads can vary and need to end the for loops when the deflection is 1/100 of the beams length (L/100).

You can use the command "break" to exit out of a for loop. So, something like:

for ii=1:x

...

   if deflection>L/100
      break;
   end

end
