C#: Core Architecture

A C# simulation consists of only 5 class types, which is handled by the NominalSystems.Core assembly. The diagram on the left describes all the dependencies of each class - as well as execution order:

• A Message represents input or output data/information of any object or class in a simulation
• A Simulation represents all objects and classes running in a time managed/controlled environment
• A SimulationSystem handles any system level integration or any third party capabilities of the simulation
• A Component represents a environmental object or physics object that interacts with it’s parent in the simulation
• A ComponentModel handles any component level behaviour that can be enabled or disabled on supported components
