Derivative of state 'X? in block 'integrator' at time Y is not finite

hello. i have a problem in a simulink model. i'm modelling the bycicle dynamics. i made a matlab fuction where i derivate my equations. my problem is that i have the sideslip angle (steering-(v+a1*yaw_rate)/u) and in same time, the u (longitudinal velocity) is 0 so in sideslip angle' s calculation there is a division for 0 that take the solutions not finite. i must use Ode4 fixed step so i can't change the solver type. how can resolve it?

thanks

Hello

A quick glance sugests that you want to handle a division by 0 in your Simulink Model. Here are a few workarounds for it:

1. Add a conditional block in the model which deals with the edge case of u being equal to 0.
2. You can also add a very small threshold to u, which can prevent a division by 0.

You can also refer to the answer linked below for more help:;
