Should we remove TimeSeries.metadata?

[martinvonk]

I think it might be a good idea to remove the metadata attribute of the pastas.TimeSeries class. And I don't know for sure but I think it is basically never used and with PastaStore it has become redundant. Maybe worth a discussion.

I am using metadata to store the coordinates of oseries an stresses in .pas files.

Hi @ursusmutus, thanks for letting us know that you are using the metadata. We can take that into consideration. Just out of curiousity; did you consider using PastaStore? And if so, why did/didn't you use it in the end?

Hi @martinvonk ,
I will take pastastore and pastadash into consideration but I need some time for that.

I think we agreed it can be useful to store metadata in a pas-file so sharing models provides all necessary information to understand the model.
