VisSim/SIMULINK Translator™

The VisSim/SIMULINK Translator, included in current versions of VisSim Professional, allows SIMULINK users to import SIMULINK v2, v3, v4 and v5 block diagrams directly into VisSim. The translator automatically converts SIMULINK blocks into equivalent VisSim blocks. The SIMULINK block diagram structure, logic and connectivity is completely maintained in the translated VisSim block diagram. VisSim versions 4.0 and higher offer this feature.

A simple wizard interface makes it easy to select and translate SIMULINK files. A log file is automatically generated for each translation making it easy to trace any exceptions. Statistics are also provided for the number of VisSim blocks created, partially converted blocks or unsupported blocks (if any). Additionally, look-up tables encountered during the translation are automatically converted to equivalent VisSim map blocks. In the event the translated SIMULINK model uses external MATLAB® scripts, VisSim will automatically invoke MATLAB and execute the MATLAB script prior to running the VisSim simulation.

With its ability to import legacy SIMULINK files, VisSim provides SIMULINK users with a proven, alternative source for easy-to-use, high quality and affordable solutions for:

• Real time hardware-in-the-loop validation without programming (VisSim/Real-Time)
• Automatic ANSI C code generation (VisSim/C-Code)
• The rapid prototyping of SIMULINK systems/algorithms targeted for DSPs (VisSim/Embedded Controls Developer)
