This is a first example of a tool to convert system models given in other other formats into the GeneSim XML format. In this case the source format is NASA DAVE-ML (aka Aero.ML), an XML format for the specification of static aerodynamic models. The converter recognizes the input and output variables and produces a GeneSim XML file model suitable to be used to generate C++ code ready to be compiled in a Dynamic Linking Library.

Main features are:

• full translation of the model interface (inputs, outputs, status variables);
• MathML code translation into C, Java, C# and other C-similar languages (see Simple MathMl Parser);
• support for table function specification (currently limited to gridded tables and for values inside the defined range of the function);
• support for user defined initial values;
• Support for default variable initialization from checkdata sections.

Designed by G.A. Cignoni and G. Mirri; implemented and maintained by G. Mirri.

Status: working prototype.
