@kanishka-ghosh I believe you prototyped an extension to parmest that improves initialization for complex models. Please please open a PR to contribute this code back to Pyomo. We can talk more about the specifics for contributing (you need code, example, and to modify the documentation). Once you open the PR, let's add it to the list above.
