Description

Enhancement Request

The object was "deprecated" at 3.5.0. In VT we already translated this to Table:Lookup.
We kept the object in place for backward compat.

Detailed Description

Possible Implementation

In 3.7.0/3.7.1 (3.7.1 if we don't want to complicate VT rules even more), redo the translation to TableLookup - in case someone created a 3.5.1, 3.6.0 or 3.6.1 model with it anyways - and completely remove the object

Research direction

Start by locating the TableMultiVariableLookup-to-Table:Lookup translation and the object definition in the OpenStudio codebase. Check how models from versions 3.5.1 through 3.6.1 are translated, then verify that the object is removed while backward-compatible translation remains correct for the selected 3.7.0 or 3.7.1 target.
