I have discussed in another post how to work with state-space models to simulate the response of linear systems using Matlab’s lsim. It is however also possible to approach this problem from a transfer-function point of view without having to mess with state-space at all.

Simulating linear systems with non-zero initial conditions in state space
Matlab’s lsim function for simulating linear systems will give you the option to provide an initial condition if your system is in state-space but not for transfer-functions.
Simulating linear systems with Matlab’s lsim
In this post we will go over a couple of ways to simulate linear systems in Matlab.

So here is a recurrent question. You have some model that has a constant showing up on the differential equation and you’re not sure how to handle it. For example, your model looks like:
$$\dot{y}(t)=ay(t)+bu(t)+c$$
where $c$ is a constant. There are multiple ways you can handle this situation.
