External link interface

The external link interface, or short ExtLinkInterface, is used to provide SIMONA with all methods necessary to load the external simulation.

Currently, these methods exist:

setup
getExtSimulation

Both method will be called by SIMONA to initialize and retrieve the external simulation.

Setting up the external simulation

Before calling the getExtSimulation method, SIMONA will first call the setup method. This method receives a setup data that contains all needed information for setting up the external simulation. The method can use these data, if necessary, to set up the external simulation.

If no setup is needed, there is no need to implement this method.

Getting the external simulation

This method should return the external simulation.
