Converting Stella model to Vensim

Hi!

I have a question about converting a Stella model to Vensim.
After reading this forum I tried saving the Stella model (that originally is a .stmx file) as a .xmile file and open it like that in Vensim, but then I get the following error:

The file ... has errors. There may be missing variables or other problems. Do you want to attempt to load what it contains anyway?

If I press 'yes', I get a Vensim error, I get the opportunity to send a report and Vensim shuts down. If I press 'no', Vensim opens a text document (probably of the Stella model) that cannot be runned.

I discovered that the Stella model indeed has some errors, but these are numerical (dividing by zero and/or overflow issues). Also, the Stella model consists of many different modules, and I'm not sure if Vensim can read that properly.

Do you think that the convertion problem lies in the errors, the modules, or somewhere else?
Thanks in advance!

If you can email the model to us, we may be able to get it to load.
