Guidelines: Native Model Code to FSKX

Assuming a model creator has a project that contains the code and all files to run the model successfully. In order to create a valid FSKX model file, one needs to compartmentalize the code as follows:

INPUT & CONSTANT Parameters

identify which parameters can be considered as INPUT or CONSTANT parameters
all INPUT and CONSTANT parameters need to be removed from the script
INPUT and CONSTANT parameters are defined in the model metadata.json, including their default values.
parameter id is the name of the variable in the code

Model Script

the model script contains the "starting" code to run the model. Even if the model contains multiple source files, the model script will start the execution of the entire workflow.
if the model is python, remove if __name__ == '__main__':
make sure, if there are OUTPUT parameters, they are accessible in the global scope

Visualization Script

contains the creation of a plot
only one plot

OUTPUT Parameters

those are the results that a model generates
in the model script, those parameters need to be global,
OUTPUT parameters are defined in the model metadata.json, but without values (since they are generated)
