Misleading Error when creating populations (.NET)

[PavelBal]

library(ospsuite)
populationCharacteristics <- createPopulationCharacteristics(
  species = Species$Human,
  population = ospsuite::HumanPopulation$WhiteAmerican_NHANES_1997,
  numberOfIndividuals = 50,
  proportionOfFemales = 50,
  ageMax = 85, # LIMIT FOR AMERICANS IS 81 years
  ageMin = 10
)
population <- createPopulation(populationCharacteristics = populationCharacteristics)

Error in do.call(".External", c(list("r_call_method", self$pointer, methodName),  : 
  Type:    OSPSuite.Utility.Exceptions.OSPSuiteException
Message: Maximum value for BMI should be less than or equal to 150.00 kg/m².
Method:  Void validate(PKSim.Core.Model.RandomPopulationSettings)
Stack trace:
   at PKSim.R.Services.PopulationFactory.validate(RandomPopulationSettings populationSettings)

   at System.Reflection.MethodBaseInvoker.InvokeWithOneArg(Object obj, BindingFlags invokeAttr, Binder binder, Object[] parameters, CultureInfo culture)

Whil I passed a value that is above accepted limit for ageMax the error I got is complaining about BMI. Very misleading.

Wanted to check what happens in PK-Sim in such a case: we just don't allow the inputs beyond the range :)

Actually already createPopulationCharacteristics() (on the R side) should check the inputs and provide explicit error message if any of the arguments is out of bounds. If required, the API in OSPSuiteCore should be required for this (e.g. getMaxAgeForPopulation(population) etc.)
