how can I simulate 1 D beam vibration when I have a matrix of displacements..

Hello all,

I want to animate a beam's vibration using a matrix of displacement. I have matrix of displacement with rows representing variation in time and columns representing variation in space

for example

disp(2,3)= means the displacement at the 2nd time step and at the 3rd node...

can anyone guide as to how would i animate/plot the beams vibration?..the beam, as i said, is divided into nodes...

Thanks in advance for your help

I would start not calling your variable disp as it is also the name of a Matlab function. As for the rest:

 doc plot
 doc getframe
