There is no direct conversion. Although they are similar models, they are different. The strength of Itineraries lies in modeling pipelines with complex hazards (especially those that are not fully pipelined, or have other similar ordering constraints). SchedMachineModel can't do that. Unless you need to represent those kinds of constraints, SchedMachineModel is preferred. We'd like to move toward using SchedMachineModel for most things.
