Model.find_identifier

Purpose
Retrieve the value of a public Mosel entity from the model's dictionary.
Synopsis
function model.find_identifier(identifier, use_pandas=None) -> object
Arguments
identifier 
Name of the Mosel entity (variable, array, set, etc.)
use_pandas 
If True, return arrays as pandas Series/DataFrame. If False or None (default), return as Python dict.
Return value
The value of the entity, converted to an appropriate Python type
Example
Read entities after execution: 
model.run()
n = model.find_identifier("n")              # Scalar (integer)
result = model.find_identifier("result")     # Array as dict
series = model.find_identifier("result", True) # Array as pandas Series
Further information
1. The entity must be declared with the explicit public keyword in the Mosel source (either via a public declarations block or an individual public qualifier). A RuntimeError is raised if the entity is not found.
2. Can retrieve scalars ( integer, real, boolean, string, text), arrays, sets, and lists. When the model is compiled with debug information (flags -g or -G), both public and private symbols can be accessed.
3. Type conversion follows standard Mosel-to-Python mappings: integer to int, real to float, string to str, boolean to bool, mpvar and linctr to their solution values, arrays to dict or pandas Series, sets to Python sets. The text type from mmsystem is returned as its string representation. Other external types from Mosel modules (including date and time from mmsystem) are not supported and raise a RuntimeError.
4. Procedures and functions in the model's dictionary cannot be retrieved as Python objects. Union types are also not supported. Attempting to retrieve these raises a RuntimeError.
