enter a description for the error encountered. If there is no error, define it as "none"

*

user_defined_errors.severity_code

string

pick one of the two option if there is an error:

"COMPONENT_SIMULATION_ERROR" to send a warning back to UI. This can be used for santiy checks, example if the energy exceeds or is lower than a pre-defined level, then you could send back this warning.

"COMPONENT_CRITICAL_ERROR" to stop the simulation. Use this when a custom resource you need for your custom component is missing.

You could choose to not use the above two codes, but you still need to set it to "none" or any other string.

Not setting this string will throw an error.
