External applications and Simulation Runtime
The following figure schematically presents the access of external applications to Simulation
Runtime via the Runtime API. The Simulation Runtime Manager manages the Runtime
instances. These load the libraries of the virtual controllers.
An external application can be other simulation software or a graphical user interface (GUI),
for example.
