Standalone Real-Time Simulation

Hi,

I have to build a standalone version of a real-time simulation of a submarine with user input and a GUI.

The current (non standalone) version opens a function, which loads the selected parameters for the simulation and opens the GUI which displays the current state of the sub. Then you start the simulation (from the GUI) and get the current boat data from the simulink model. The user can take control of the sub manually with a joystick and change some autopilot settings. There is also an optional 3D Animation output. The simulation runs on an Automation Server.

I'd be very thankful if someone can give me a basic guideline on how to realise this task. After some research my understanding is, that I have to build a seperate ececutable for the simulation via Real-Time Workshop and open it with the UI executable, but I don't know if this allows the user input during the simulation and i'm very uncertain how the whole automation server thing will work on a standalone.
