Question: system of ODE's in matrix form

Suppose you have a system of linear ODE's and you want to convert them into one matrix equation. Basically what you do with algebraic eqs using GenerateMatrix. Is there a Maple command to do that? Obviously, one could you use the lagrangian if the eqs happen to represent a dynamic system but that's not what I am looking for. And the second part of the question, once you have the matrices is there a way to export them and ,say, run a finite element analysis with them?

thanks a lot
