SB2SL

Limitations

No translator can completely convert an optimally designed SystemBuild model into a optimally designed Simulink model. There are subtle differences in the way that the two tools work that prevent faithful translation of all capabilities. However, this tool does the job of converting basic blocks and hierarchy from one tool to the other in a form that can be simulated. The following are limitations of SB2SL:

• Data types are not supported.
• Write to Variable and Read from Variable blocks do not support the element- or bit-addressing option.
• The SystemBuild simulation parameter cdelay is not supported.
• The timing of triggered subsystems with the "as soon as finished" output posting requirement differs from the SystemBuild implementation:
• SystemBuild updates the outputs at the beginning of the next minor numerical integration step.
• In Simulink, the outputs are available immediately.
• Simulink models obtained from SB2SL conversions of SuperBlocks containing any triggered SuperBlocks with both of the following attributes will not run:
• The output posting is selected as "at timing requirement."
• The triggered SuperBlock is nested within another triggered SuperBlock.

File Formats

SB2SL cannot read SystemBuild files stored in the binary file format.
