Hello everyone, I am working on an aerospace system and as I am developing more complex use cases, I need to change fields on structs to a new type during a simulation. For example, when a spacecraft leaves the Earth system, we use a different time system to model time. We also use different coord…

Changing struct fields to a different sub-type during run time

Just to let you know, LightSimTypes.jl has been improved upon by WrappedUnions.jl, so I would suggest using that instead of it. See also the discourse announcement: [ANN]: WrappedUnions.jl: Wrap a Union for enhanced type-stability
