input	object		Details of input files to read the scenario data from. Required if scenarios field isn't present.
>uri	string	true	Path to files containing scenario data
output	object	true	Details of the simulation's output
>uri	string	true	Path to output scenario data results
>format	string		Output data format. Options are parquet or json, defaults to json.

Example request body with inline scenario definition

{"modelName": "Simple Credit Card", 
  "output": {"uri": "scenarioFolder" },
  "scenarios":[{
    "name": "myScenario", 
    "runs": 10, 
    "scenarioData": {
      {
        "0": {"spending": 200},
        "4": {"spending": 100, "interest": 0.04}
      }
    }
  }]
}

Example request body with scenario from input

{"modelName": "Simple Credit Card", 
  "output": {"uri": "scenarioFolder" },
  "input":{"uri": "/path/to/inputFiles"}
}

If a request body has both inline scenario definition and and input path, the input path will be ignored.
