Architecture modelling in OMSimulator

[arun3688]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

It should be possible to import an partial fmu with only modeldescription.xml consisting of variables with inputs and outputs and parameters etc.. and make connections with other fmus. And later develop this partial fmu to a working fmu and then integrate the working fmu in the ssp without losing the connections and other datas It is still possible that the newly developed fmus has more additional variables and also change in the naming of inputs and output variables, in such cases the connections with old variable names will be lost, The users must update the connections by themselves.

Describe the solution you'd like
Implement a new API replaceSubModel(const char* oldFmu, const char* newFmu), When replacing the fmu checks should be made in all ssp concepts like in ssd, ssv and ssm, so that connections and parameter settings are not lost. It is possible that the namings of inputs and parameters match, but the start values might have been changed, in such cases new start values will be applied in ssd, ssv and ssm. In case the Types of inputs and outputs and parameters differed then the variables are updated according to the new changes and the connections will be removed with warning messages to user

@robha67 Hi robert we are working on architectural modelling in OMSimulator and me and lennart had some discussion and decided to implement this feature, You can add your suggestion if you have anything that needs to be considered or to be implemented in this feature

Hi! Can the three of us take a brief meeting regarding this, possibly next week? Virtually or IRL does not matter for me
