Variable range mapping
Shall cse-core include features for mapping variable ranges like 1-5 kW -> 0-100% ?
Possibly relevant: In an FMI 2.0 model description you can specify the display units for variables, which may be different from the actual variable value units. Look for <DisplayUnit> in the spec.
I think this relates to connections, as a special case of unit conversion. IE connecting two variables where one gives a value in %, and the other expects the value in kW.
The variable modifiers will support linear transforms (offset + factor) in an upcoming PR, though I suppose this request concerns simulation-level conversions that are not necessarily tied to our concept of scenarios or manipulators. Still, any unit conversion could be implemented through an existing manipulator transform, and if controlled from GUI I think it will suffice.
Adding simulation level support for unit conversions also means we should verify that connection integrity is maintained; i.e. checking that given variables v1 and v2, the connection v1 === v2 still holds with the user-defined conversions.
