Points we worked on :

Basics: name, institution, reference, author...

Scientific: sub-components as childs, physical schemes as NumericalProperties, prognostic variables as ScientificProperties, ...

Coupling relationships: initial conditions, boundary conditions, bexchanges, forcings, … as Compositions

Technical: Plateform and compilation options as Deployment

Quality not tested
