Hi all, I was sitting in bed last night, and this idea came to me:
It would be really easy to create some kind of script / automation process that automatically connects up variables of the same name if they have matching interfaces. Say you have a component A with variables a and b. a is defined in A and has pub interface out, while b is imported from B, where it is defined. So you also have component B with variables a and b, a having pub interface in and b having pub interface out. Surely it would be very simple to just have some button to click in PCEnv or COR that links up these variables? I'm not saying this is done by default - you'd have to select the option once you'd defined all your variable interfaces. It wouldn't be able to handle connecting variables with different names, but it would at least be a start. There would also be problems with variables with the same name that aren't supposed to be all connected together, but this, IMO, is just bad CellML practice. Imports might be an issue too. I find creating connections the most tedious aspect of coding up a CellML model, and I think the benefits would vastly outweigh the problems, and of course, people wouldn't have to use it... I also thought, surely someone has already thought of this and thrown the idea out. But if this could be implemented it would be extremely useful.
