Simulation and Animation on the same platform

When starting the simulation with the FMU and the 'Hostname' has been set to 'localhost', the animation will be started during the initialization of the model by Adams Solver without any need for interaction by the user. Currently this is supported for RedHat 7.6-7.9 and 8.0 - 8.4 platforms that fulfill the hardware requirements as specified in the section Adams Real Time Animation requirements.

Note:

When setting the environment variable MSC_ADAMS_RTA_AUTO_START to NO, the user can disable the auto start of the Real Time Animation component. In that case the user should start the Real Time Animation component manually as described in next section.
