Dr. Schroeer,

Although I am not familiar with the Simulink product, I have interfaced Ada with
Matlab.
We were able to obtain a binding from Mathworks (created by a Matlab user and
freely
available).  With luck, Mathworks may have a similar binding available for
Simulink.

If not, I believe there are tools available which generate Ada bindings from .h
files.

I hope this will assist you in your endeavors.

v/r,
Rick
