[cellml-discussion] decompose - a model decomposition utility

[David Nickerson]

Hi all,

I have recently needed to revive an early CellML 1.0 model of mine which 
I need to use within some more recent modelling work. The model is very 
complicated it was going to take a long time to separate out the deeply 
embedded parameter values and initial conditions in order to make the 
model more amenable to use in a CellML 1.1 model hierarchy.

As I was feeling a bit lazy I decided instead to take a stab at writing 
some code which would do this automatically for me. I have done this 
(using the CellML API) and the code is now available on the CellML 
sourceforge.net project. More information about it and help on how to 
compile the code are available at 
http://cellml.sourceforge.net/decompose/index.html - on the off chance 
you look into the code, please bear in mind this was quite a rush effort 
to get something working :) also, while it seems to work well on the 
models I have tested it with (cellular electrophysiology), there are no 
guarantees for other models...see also the limitations section on the 
above web page.


Thanks,
Andre.
