simon any working base models?

[Stephan Olbrich]

Hi,

I mad lot's of progress! The issue seems to be, that the model creation does 
not work. According to [1] feature_transform is missing and there is no field 
to specify it. Luckily someone wrote a script which creates an sbm (see link 
in [1]) and this is working, at least for older models. 

Regards,
Stephan
