SB2SL

Introduction

You can translate SystemBuild^TM SuperBlocks to Simulink® models using SB2SL. For each SuperBlock in your SystemBuild model, you can use the SB2SL translator to:

Create a Simulink model that represents the structure and hierarchy of your SystemBuild model
Translate Xmath® data from the SystemBuild model into MATLAB® variables in the MATLAB workspace
Produce a report providing details of the translation

SB2SL translation is performed on a block-by-block basis. Except for a few blocks, all SystemBuild blocks are translated into either:

Its Simulink counterpart, or
A masked subsystem block containing the computational equivalent if no Simulink counterpart exists

A few blocks are not translated, but appropriate blank placeholder blocks are created in the resulting Simulink model.

Once you translate your SystemBuild model into Simulink, the results of the Simulink simulation match the results of a SystemBuild simulation.

However, due to modeling differences between the two environments, you may want to perform further model optimizations in order to achieve top simulation performance. We strongly recommend that you validate all models after translation.

Software Requirements

Version 2 of SB2SL requires MATLAB 5.3 and Simulink 3.0. For general system requirements, see the Installation Guide for your platform.

You can only apply SB2SL to SystemBuild files saved from Version 5.0 of SystemBuild UNIX or PC in ASCII format.

Installation

See the Installation Guide for information on installing MATLAB and Simulink on your platform.
