hi.i want to simulate ur10 inverse kinematic and I did it.while running there is this error:
Domain error. To compute complex results from real x, use 'acos(complex(x))
how can I fix it?
the error is general and I don't know which line should be changed. there are several acos in the code .
X is the endeffector position and it can not be complex.
I have attached the Simulink file.

Unfortunately, "changing them all" wouldn't help in this case.
It actually doesn't have to do with the input being complex, but rather the input being outside the real valued range [-1,1] of the cos function.
Refer to my Answer below.

Hi Najmeh,
If you supply a value greater than 1 or smaller than -1 to the acos function, you get a complex number. Simulink seems to be complaining about that in your code.
Theta5=acos(argumancos5);%negetive or positive answer?
Seems like at the very first time step, argumancos5 is exactly 1, but due to numerical issues, it's actually slightly higher than 1 which leads to your error. Computing the value argumancos5 - 1 gives me 3.1086e-15... so it's just outside the range in which the cosine is real-valued.
I limited the value of this input to the range [-1, 1] and it seems to have fixed the error:
argumancos5 = max(min(argumancos5,1),-1);
Theta5=acos();%negetive or positive answer?

This is the answer!
But why MATLAB does not point out which line (file) the error occures in?
