overlapping time steps in ODE45

Fy is a global variable, center1 is the function that is calling

Fy = 1000;
Y0 = [0 -0.025 0 0 0 0]'; 
tspan = 0:0.02:0.1;
[T1,Y1] = ode45('center1',tspan,Y0);

Fy=0;
Yspan = Y1(length(Y1(:,1)),:); 
tspan = 0.1:0.02:0.2;
[T2,Y2] = ode45('center1',tspan,Yspan);

T=[T1' T2'];
Y=vertcat(Y1,Y2);

the issue that I am dealing with is that: when Fy=1000, the force is applying for [0-0.1] seconds, then the force is removed (Fy=0) the the behavior of the body is studied up to 0.2 seconds, which I should it like [0.1-0.2]. But at t=0.1 sec, there are two times calculation. How can I show that the second time interval starts after 0.1 second, in order to avoid repeating the result ?

Please show the code for 'center1'. Why can't you modify this code to simply use the t input to determine which value of Fy to use? Then you could do everything with one ode45 call.
