Description

Description

So that we can utilize the hash table functionality within the physics (i.e. grab a specific constituent by standard name), it would be helpful to have the full constituents object (type ccpp_model_constituents_t) available via metadata.

Solution

Not exactly sure how it'll look, but my guess is we'll need to add a metadata file for the host cap.

Research direction

Start by locating the host cap metadata handling and the ccpp_model_constituents_t definition. Determine how the full constituents object should be exposed through metadata so physics code can use its hash-table lookup by standard name; done means that object is available to the physics layer.
