6034	Briefly explain the compilation pipeline and the role of compilation vs. simulation flags	Francesco Casella	Adeel Asghar	"Today I had an interesting discussion with Tobias Krenz, a German master student using OMC to study sulphuric acid production plants. He told me he was quite confused by the difference between compilation and simulation flags. Eventually he read the book by Peter Fritzson and got it, but maybe having some indications in the User's Guide would be nice.

We could add a short section in the Introduction, after System Overview and before Interactive session, where we explain what the main steps do (front-end, backend, code generation, C code compilation, simulation execution) and the role of compilation and simulation flags.

@Karim, @AnHeuermann, would you mind doing that? Otherwise, I can take care of that myself.

Thanks!"	enhancement	assigned	critical		Documentation				tobias.krenz@… Karim Adbdelhak Adeel Asghar
