I want to terminate the loop. Condition is satisfying at i = 96, but loop is still running till the end.
after the termination, i want to know the value of i.
point_load(1) = 0;
for i = 1 : 100
point_load(i + 1) = point_load(i) + 1;
PL_BM(i) = point_load(i) * beam_length / 4;
PL_BM = repelem(PL_BM(i),n);
failure_domain_BM = ( RV_BM - PL_BM(i) ) < 0;
p_f_BM = sum(failure_domain_BM (:) == 1) / n;
if p_f_BM == 1
break
disp(point_load(i+1))
end
end

Due to floating-point error, it may be that the condition
if p_f_BM == 1
is not exactly met. With floating-point numbers, it's better to check for equality within some tolerance. Try something like
if abs(p_f_BM-1) < tol
for some appropriately small value of tol.

Thank you for the reply. but, still its running till the end.
This is the entire code, if it helps.
b18 = 3+0+0+7+6+0+4+9; % b18 = 29
b58 = 6+0+4+9; % b58 = 19
n = 100000000; % No of samples = 10,000,000
rng default
beam_length = 5; % Beam length = 5 m
% Bending Moment Capacity follows a log-normal distribution
mean_BM = 2 * b18; % mean of BM = 58 kNm
COV_BM = 0.01 * b58; % COV of BM = 0.19
variance_BM = (mean_BM * COV_BM)^2; % Variance of BM = 121.4404
mu_BM = log(mean_BM^2 / sqrt(mean_BM^2 + variance_BM)); % Location parameter of BM = 4.0427
sigma_BM = sqrt(log(1 + (variance_BM / mean_BM^2))); % Scale paramaeter of BM = 0.1883
RV_BM = lognrnd(mu_BM, sigma_BM, 1, n); % Random variables of BM
% Load Test
% Apply 50 kN load gradually in 1 kN load increment
point_load(1) = 0;
breaking_point = 10^-10;
for i = 1 : 100
point_load(i + 1) = point_load(i) + 1;
PL_BM(i) = point_load(i) * beam_length / 4;
PL_BM = repelem(PL_BM(i),n);
failure_domain_BM = ( RV_BM - PL_BM(i) ) < 0;
p_f_BM = sum(failure_domain_BM (:) == 1) / n;
if abs(p_f_BM - 1) < breaking_point
break
end
end
n is too big
you need a larger breaking point, maybe 1e-5?
Hello Mr. Cyclist,
Thanks for your guidance. I got my answer based on your solution.

if p_f_BM >= 0.9999
disp(['i=' num2str(i)])
break
end
end
this gave me i=93

Thanks for the reply.
actually i want to break it at 1.00.
it is breaking before that.
If you increase the end limit of i to 120 (i=1:120), you will see that the break point is reached at i = 118. Because the display is rounding up the floating points, you thought the condition is met earlier, whereas it is not. Hope you understand.

Jaydeep, did you get your answer?
He did mark the cyclist's answer as "Accepted".
Hello Ridwan,
Thabks for the reply. I got the answer. It was a floating point error. When I kept the difference too small around 5e-4, i got the answer. Thanks again.
