Integration of ncDataReader

[PMehrfeld]

I am currently working on getting an alternative data reader integrated into AixLib since I have faced many issues with CombiTimeTables in the context of complex simulations.
The repo is located here: https://github.com/tbeu/netCDF-DataReader

I will discuss two issues in that repository and report the news here.

Can you please share your issues with the CombiTimeTable. Ist it about mo:#2080?

Feel free to also comment here:
UdK-VPT/BuildingSystems#12
Maybe we could have one very good data reader in Annex60?

@thorade Thanks for cross-referencing. I even forgot about it and the ideas mentioned therein.

I have commented the issue here:
UdK-VPT/BuildingSystems#12

Hopefully, I will have a look at https://trac.modelica.org/Modelica/ticket/2080 next week.

@FWuellhorst : Write documentation and migrate NcDataReader model into AixLib
I think AixLib.Utilities.Sources might be a could sub-package

With commit 996399f I deleted parameter standard values. But for string vectors varName, attNameReal and attNameInt at least empty strings like {""} are necessary, otherwise error occurs Failed to expand the variable NcDataReader_test.varName.
Since all use_... parameters are true and strings were set in the example, the error did not occur. But with default values an error will be thrown.

@PMehrfeld, is our netCDF reader module read-only?
See UdK-VPT/BuildingSystems#64 (comment)
I think that's a valuable point

[PMehrfeld]

Since we are not checking out the repo https://github.com/tbeu/netCDF-DataReader as a submodule of our AixLib repo, there is no further need to concern about read-only rights. Any User must clone the repo and open the Modelica library of the netCDF-DataReader manually. This is also described in the documentation of the particular model in AixLib.
