Hello!

I know it is possible to import SBML to Catalyst ReactionSystem using [https://github.com/SciML/SBMLToolkit.jl](https://github.com/SciML/SBMLToolkit.jl)

However, I’m having troubles to find out what is the best way to export Catalyst models to SBML format. Is this functionality implemented somewhere or is writing my own custom exporter “by hand” the only way to do it?

Thank you very much!

Best regards,  
Polina

Export of SBML doesn’t currently exist. Someone would have to write it.
