- I will be translating several large simulation models from Xanalog to
- Simulink. I do not have any experience with Simulink (yet), but I have used
- Systembuild extensively, and also Xanalog.
- Translating the low level algorithm files (Xanalog) to mex files (MatLab)
- should be straightforward. However, I am wondering if there is a translation
- program for converting the block diagrams in Xanalog to the equivalent block
- diagrams in Simulink.
- My present plan for translating the block diagrams is labor intensive:
- print the Xanalog block diagrams, then manually input the block diagram into
- Simulink. However, these are large simulation models with several layers of
- block diagrams, and a large number of algorithm files.
-
- Thanks for any suggestions

- P.S. In a perfect world, ISI, Math Works, Xanalog, _______ (fill in your
- favorite controls/simulation package) would adapt a common, interchangeable,
- representation of systems. In a less perfect world they would provide
- translators. In a minimal perfect world they would provide a text base
- language to input the graphical block diagrams, instead of depending on point
- and shoot devices for inputing the control structure. Let's see, where do we
- live...
