Details

  • Entity expressions can be created by using the interface.
  • A qualifier qual can be a property qualifier of an EntityProperty of entity, a QuantityVariable or a Function argument.
  • If entity[property] returns Function[params,body] with a parameter equal to qual, then the associated value is substituted into body and qual is dropped from params. If no parameters remain then the Function wrapper is removed.
