Okay, I see what you mean now. Can I see your code or the code you want to modify?
this code is in Euler-Bernoulli beam. how to modify it and transform to a cantilever beam with a force in the fifth node(free end point).
Main program:

% Calculating the natural frequencies of a cantilever beam

% PURPOSE :1.Get the natural frequencies of the Euler-Bernoulli beam.
% 2.Draw the mode shapes of the Euler-Bernoulli beam.
