In the old days we wanted to duplicate input model by certain factor to perform scaling studies. Now models are quite bigger. We have ability to generate arbitrary size models to perform scaling studies.

In order to reduce the code complexity, I would suggest to remove the code related to model duplication from coreneuron.

@nrnhines : would that be ok? I haven't used this for few years already and don't see any use cases now days.

You know it is not so hard and can be done in #283
Only waiting for @nrnhines advices about it is safe or not

@pramodk pramodk added this to the NEURON v8.0 Release milestone Jul 24, 2020

@alkino : #283 is done, so this can be done now.

pramodk pushed a commit to neuronsimulator/nrn that referenced this issue Nov 2, 2022
…/CoreNeuron#360)

Extra-connection and module duplication functionality was added
to scale model for benchmarking. Over last few years we haven't used
this functionality as it's often easy to just scale the model and BBP
model's are already big. Hence no need to carry the old code.
