Flexsim work with Unity or UE4

[ FlexSim 22.2.0 ]

To present better visual effects to our customer, now, my team consider to use Unity or UE to do the front-end display. I'm wondering is there a way to build logical model in Flexsim and use it as data back-end to drive the model in Unity or UE？

Any suggestion will be appreciated.

Can you explore a bit of data input interfaces of your mentioned programs? Then it would be much easier to discuss any data output of FlexSim.

What visual effects are you missing in FlexSim that Unity provides?

Flexsim specializes in discrete event simulation, not in 3D modeling or game development.

Yes - but my question is what feature are you missing from FlexSim's environment that makes you want to hook it up to a Unity/Unreal application? Is it just the fidelity of the rendering/ real-time ray tracing? Is it the library of materials that are available in Unity/Unreal?

Honestly, i'm not very clear about the features.Maybe both aspects you've mentioned up there. And the manual don't tell much about visual effect.

Is there any demo with fantastic display for reference?

For example, i build two identical 3D model in Flexsim and UE, then i build logical part in Flexsim so the model can run correctly, and then how to drive the model in UE to run the same way?
