ACTION: Steven spec text for 'initial' MIP
https://
Steven: I have made the change, and will add it to the spec if it is OK
Erik: I still want more
Steven: My mistake, it should read *initial* model item properties
… I'll fix that and add it to the spec.
ACTION: Erik to report evaluating vars in model
https://
Steven: I think we can add it to the model, and recalculate it during recalculate
<ebruchez> <var name="foo" value="..."/>
<ebruchez> <bind ref="$foo">"
Erik: We allow this in our implementation
<ebruchez> <var name="foo" value="instance('foo')"/>
<ebruchez> bind()
<ebruchez> <var name="bar" value="2"/>
<ebruchez> <bind ref="elem[$bar]">"
Steven: What is the problem with recalculating during a recalculate?
Erik: rebuild comes first, and may use variables, so the variables need to be updated before rebuild
Steven: So a rebuild needs to update the vars and then rebuild, and a recalculate also has to update the vars
Erik: Yes, for instance if the vars use the bind() function
Steven: So you still have the action item
Alain: can you access the model vars in the body?
Erik: Yes, I think so
Erik: The disadvantage comes when you have two models with the same var name
Alain: Maybe a function for model vars?
Erik: A possibility
… a var() function
… or an export facility for vars in the model
Steven: <var visible="true" value="..."/>
