Notes:
* This component can be ran in a pipeline with the Create Simulation App and Delete Simulation App components or as a standalone.
* One of sim_app_arn or robot_app_arn and any related inputs must be provided.
* The format for the [`sim_app_launch_config`](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/robomaker/latest/dg/API_LaunchConfig.html) field is:
```
{
    "packageName": "string",
    "launchFile": "string",
    "environmentVariables": {
        "string": "string",
    },
    "streamUI": "bool",
}
```
* The format for the [`sim_app_world_config`](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/robomaker/latest/dg/API_WorldConfig.html) field is:
```
{
    "world": "string"
}
```
* The format for the [`robot_app_launch_config`](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/robomaker/latest/dg/API_LaunchConfig.html) field is:
```
{
    "packageName": "string",
    "launchFile": "string",
    "environmentVariables": {
        "string": "string",
    },
    "streamUI": "bool",
}
```


## Output
The output of the simulation job is sent to the location configured via output_artifacts
