Does PLEXE support simu5g?

Hello, I'm now doing some research on vehicular edge computing. I want to know, is there any possible to combine simu5g.mec model with PLEXE?
I'll appreciated it ,if I can hear some reply!

It should with some changes. As you can see Plexe 3.1 has been released and we added the support for SimuLTE. You find an example here.
It will require some work, but it should work fine. In particular what comes to my mind is:

1. Finding, compiling, and linking against Simu5G and the right INET version as done for SimuLTE by creating the proper configure file
2. Defining a new Car module for the network node within Veins, as done here for LTE
3. Going through the code and adapt it to Simu5G

I guess the best option could be to copy-paste the entire plexe_lte subproject and modify it so that communication uses Simu5G instead of SimuLTE. Notice that this would not only be useful for you but the whole Plexe community. So if you feel like doing so after succeeding, I'd be happy to merge a pull request from you.
