MATLAB: Error – Vectors must be the same length

errorvector length

Hi everyone,
This is very wierd.
I entered this code to plot a (epscmv, cdivd) graph and there are two problems:
1) sometimes it works and draws the graph but most of the time it errors:
Error using plot
Vectors must be the same length.
Error in Untitled (line 30)
plot(epscmv, cdivd
2) the graph has to finish at epsAtMmax which is 2.7671 but it stoppes at 3.5 instead..
Thank you for your help.

d=400;  %mm

Es=200000;  %Mpa
As=2400;  %mm^2

epsc1=min(2.8/1000,0.7*fc^0.31/1000);
epscu=3.5/1000;
k=1.05*Ecm*epsc1/fc;
epscmv = linspace(0.05, 3.5, 500)*1E-3;
for i=1:numel(epscmv);
    epscm = epscmv(i);
    funC=@(epsc) (k*epsc/epsc1-(epsc/epsc1).^2)./(1+(k-2)*epsc/epsc1);
    compression=@(c) b*fc*c/epscm*integral(funC,0,epscm)/1000;
    tension=@(c) min(Es*(d-c)/c*epscm*As/1000,fy*As/1000);
    c(i)=fsolve(@(c) compression(c)-tension(c),1);

    phi(i)=epscm/c(i);
    cdivd(i)=c(i)/d;
    if (i > 1) & (M(i)<M(i-1))
        break;
    end
end
[Mmax,idx]=max(M) %[kNm]

epsAtMmax=epscmv(idx)*1000  %[promil]
plot(epscmv, cdivd)

Your code does what you want it to, including the if block, and appears to produce the desired results: 
Mmax =
          342.497032418162
idx =
   394
phiAtMmax =
      2.50775914909749e-05
epsAtMmax =
          2.76713426853707
Solve the plot error by limiting the ranges on both arguments: 
plot(epscmv(1:idx), cdivd(1:idx))
That worked when I ran it, and the plot stops at the appropriate value of ϵ. Your code does what you want it to, including the if block, and appears to produce the desired results:
