What exactly is Simulink?  An external interface mayby?  octave does have
that, though I've never used it and don't know how close it would be to
Simulink.

>From what I have heard of Scilab, many of the functions are quite
different, having different numbers of arguments, etc.  In fact the
student I know who was trying to use scilab to do his Digital Signal
Processing homework swithed to octave when I told him how well it had
worked for me.  He said that individual scilab functions seemed more
powerful but also more complicated, and it wasn't always easy to figure
out how to map MATLAB functions to scilab function.
