Produces the output of the component by evaluating the inputs.
Produces the output of the component by evaluating the inputs.
IMPLEMENTATION NOTE The [[InOut]] is immutable. The easiest way to produce the output to return is to execute the methods of the actualOutput that returns a new InOut.
This method transparently returns a value from the passed ID and instance.
This method transparently returns a value from the passed ID and instance.
When an input is not templated, neither a template instance, then its value cabn be directly retrieved from the map of the inputs passed to [#eval]. But if the imput is templated or a templated instance then this method must be used.
If the ASCE is generated out of a template, its inputs can or cannot be generated out of the same template. In the latter, their identifiers must be enriched with the number of the instance of the ASCE. For templated inputs the number of the instance is not needed because it is the same instance number of the ASCE and it is known to the transfer function. The case of templated input instances is different because their instance number is defined in the configuration of the ASCE and not known in the transfer function so it must be esplicity passed by the caller.
For normal and templated inputs, the instance is empty. For templated inputs the instance can be passed if it is teh same of the ASCE. For templated input instances the instance number is required.
This method must be used also to get templated input instances from non templated ASCEs.
