@macumber I don't think so, unless we want the ForwardTranslator to have a lot of little methods for setting model details (time step, type of simulation, etc.). I really don't want to do that, and I don't think I can replicate the C++ utilities in Ruby without some access to the details of the model. The next update to the PRJ objects (working on it now) should get rid of all of this default argument business, solving the %ignore problem and make things nicer.
