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...
