How do I discretize a continuous state-space system involving matrices that contain symbolic entries?

I am trying to convert a continuous state-space systems with matrices A, B, C, D for which there are symbolic entries into discrete matrices A', B', C', D'. However, MATLAB's c2d function only accepts numeric matrices.

Does anyone know of workarounds to this issue?

Thanks!

MATLAB (including the Symbolic Toolbox) does not have tools for symbolic state space models.

(Maple does have tools for this; I was able to convert arbitrary symbolic 2 x 2 matrices under a variety of their provided methods.)
