I remember using a MATLAB-Simulink model for the Tennessee-Eastman (TE) process back in grad school to test some algorithms; and I also remember that using this simulator was a horrible experience. Apparently a lot of people feel the same way, as it seems that more people work with canned datasets generated from this simulation rather than the simulator itself.
It would be nice to actually have a performant open-source simulator to work with, rather than canned data examples. ModelingToolkit.jl seems like it would be a good fit for translating simulink models like this one. Has anyone ever tried to do this translation? I feel like this would be a service to humanity (and an easy way to get some citations if I were a grad student).
