Description

Problem

Currently, we only output P_in, P_out, Q_in, Q_out and V_c in the simulation results. It could be useful to also output V_rest and elastance, as well as simulation parameters. This could be useful for efficient post-processing, parameter tuning and debugging.

Solution

For heart chamber blocks, or other blocks which use elastance, there should be an additional column in the results for V_rest and elastance.

Additional context

Aaron suggested that I submit this issue.

Research direction

Start by tracing how simulation results are assembled for heart chamber blocks and where P_in, P_out, Q_in, Q_out, and V_c are emitted. Identify how elastance-based blocks expose V_rest and elastance, then determine how simulation parameters should be represented. Done means the relevant results include the requested auxiliary values and existing result output remains usable.
