Hey Nest Team,
Calling "NodeCollection.get" returns a dictionary containing the user declared "States" and "Parameters" with other keys such as "global_id", "recordables", and "synaptic_elements". In this context, I want to ask if there is a function in "nest" that returns exactly only the model declared "States" or "Parameters" without having these extra keys, and of course without having a prior knowledge of the "nestml" file from which the model was originated.
Best, Ayssar
Dear Ayssar,
You could call get() with arguments. If you want both "States" and "Parameter", call nc.get(["States", "Parameters"]). If you only want one of them, like States, call either nc.get("States") or, even simpler, nc.States. nc is your NodeCollection.
See more information on attributes and getting node status here: https://nest-simulator.readthedocs.io/en/latest/release_notes/v3.0/features/...
Best wishes, Stine

Hey Stine,
Do you mean by "States" and "Parameters" as keys here, like nestkernel knows these two keywords as really "States" and "Parameters", or do you mean by replacing the "States" with a declared state variable from nestml?. I think you mean the latter, because the documentation does not mention any details about the first case.
What I am really looking forward to having is extracting "States" and "Parameters" without knowing the nestml model in advance.
Best, Ayssar
