Last I checked SimBiology supported portions of SMBL Level 2 version 1.
(Yeah, thats a few versions behind...)


I bought SimBiology thinking it'd be a convenient GUI environment to use to
convert my models into SMBL-format for some journals that are starting to
require such versions.

I found it to be clunky and limited in the SBML features it supported. Further,
the Export to SBML function generates an XML file that is as horrendously
coded as any code you'd get from saving an MS Word file as HTML. I had to
go back and manually edit the file so I wouldn't feel embarrassed when a
fellow modeler looked at it.

Don't buy SimBiology if you want to use it for SBML conversion or for
importing SBML-encoded models from the BioModelsDatabase. SBML support
in this product seems like it was more of an after-thought by the developers.

If you go up to sbml.org you can get an open-source SBML toolbox for
MATLAB. It may not be as pretty as SimBiology, but at least it supports SBML.

I'm trying to use Optimization toolbox to analyse
biochemical pathways, for that I need to import SBML file to
obtain the stoichiometric matrix, what softwares do I need
to install to import SBML file into matlab and get the
matrix as ana M-file?
