AAS Core CLI Swiss Knife

Provide a set of command-line tools to:

Convert CSV tables to AAS,
Validate instances of AAS,
Tree-shake concept descriptions,
Check for dangling references, and
Convert AAS to static file structures (in form of directories and JSON files) such that they can be statically served by a HTTP server (e.g. nginx) as a read-only AAS server.

Supports v3.0 of the AAS meta-model.

AAS Submodel Python Code Generator

Code generator tool built on top of the BaSyx-Python-SDK.

It generates Submodel-specific classes and classes for its submodel elements with filled meta-information derived from AASX submodel templates. The generated classes can then be used for submodel instantiation.

Also contains generated classes for some of IDTA Submodels.
