Check for division by zero in Simulink

Check ID: mathworks.jmaab.jc_0794

Guideline: jc_0794: Division in Simulink

Description

Identifies division operations in Simulink® that result in a divide-by-zero error.

This check requires Simulink Check™, and Simulink Design Verifier™ (SLDV) licenses.

Check Parameterization

This check does not include sub-checks because the MAB modeling guideline provides only one sub ID.

For reference, the MAB guideline sub ID(s) that are recommended for use by the NA-MAAB and JMAAB modeling standards organizations are:

  • NA-MAAB — a

  • JMAAB — a

Results and Recommended Actions

ConditionRecommended Action
One or more blocks performing division can result in a divide-by-zero error.Remodel to avoid a divide-by-zero error.

Capabilities and Limitations

  • Does not run on library models.

  • Allows exclusions of blocks or charts.

  • Analyzes content of library-linked blocks. By default, the input parameter Follow links is set to on.

  • Analyzes content in masked subsystems. By default, the input parameter Look under masks is set to graphical.
