Error: Values of BreakpointsForDimension1 in 'Lookup_table' must be monotonically increasing.

Hello,

I'm frustrated with the error that I'm getting while running my simulink model which has a 1-D lookup table. The lookup data is a nx1 matrix which is generated in an ODE45 integration. The error is:

Values of BreakpointsForDimension1 in 'output_control/Normal force' must be monotonically increasing.

I looked at other Q/As here but I couldn't understand them. Can someone please give me a workaround to this problem in an easy language so that a rookie in simulink like me can understand? I really appreciate it.

Having the data and a simple model trying to use it will help us understand. Looks like a problem with dimensions of either data/breakpoints. But impossible to help without knowing more about the actual data.

The 1-D lookup table block has a parameter called "Breakpoints 1". It is a vector. The value needs to be incremental, for example [1, 1.1, 1.3]. If the value is not incremental, such as [1 2 2] or [1 3 2], the error message will appear.

hello I also had this problem but i found a solution. i used 2 lookup table instead of one , one lookup table for the incremental part and one for the decremental part, so you should separate your data from that break point from which error occurs , and you can use simple logic blocks to to direct the input data to the desired lookup table.

Can you give me an example.

How to do this, can you briefly explain this.
