The target connection mechanism in CADI enables establishing connections to CADI targets. It is also responsible for a clean disconnection from targets and the release of a connected simulation object.

The primary way to disconnect from a simulation is to use the Release() method of those target-side classes which are involved in the connection mechanism. After this method is called, the caller must ensure that it does not start any additional interaction with the connection. The call performs the appropriate actions on the target-side such as:

Using only Release() calls is acceptable for simple scenarios such as unique and direct connections between caller and target. For more sophisticated scenarios, however, a well-coordinated disconnection is required. The CADISimulationCallback class provides two callbacks that are essential for such a disconnection:

Using these callbacks in combination with the Release() method in the target enables establishing well-defined procedures for disconnection from a CADI simulation.
