Hi Lucian,

Can you remind me why you need to be using CeVAS? The whole point of
CeVAS is to map variables in components to their 'source' (that is, the
variable which is connected to them but is not an in variable).

Therefore, CeVAS, in its current form, is only useful for variables that
are ultimately connected up to a variable with no in interfaces.

This should apply for any complete models, but it won't apply to, say, a
model that is not a complete model, but is designed as a component to be
imported into another model.

If Antimony can't deal with these component models, then there is little
benefit to trying to translate them. If it can, I'd suggest doing a more
direct translation and letting Antimony work out the connections rather
than using CeVAS to flatten all the parts of the model into one.

Best wishes,
Andrew
