The requestable object manager is the only object manager that is able to create new objects. It does this by requesting a new identifier of the appropriate type (as defined by the type of simulation object managed) from CR. This is usually a bulk, cached operation to avoid costly blocking. Once it has the identifier, it is free to create the object and return it.

At some point in the future, the object will be added to the object manager which will then trigger the appropriate events allowing CR to notify the respective parties.
