Property models

Participants : Marc Aubert, Stephane Redon.

We extended the hierarchy of classes in SAMSON for property models. Property models are one of the five categories of models in SAMSON, with structural models (for geometry and topology), visual models (for custom graphical representations), dynamical models (to describe degrees of freedom) and interaction models (to represent energies and forces). We have added classes to easily represent in SAMSON various functions, fields (e.g. scalar fields and vector fields), etc. These property models are template classes which may rely on the unit system of SAMSON to perform dimensional analysis at compile time.
