function statistics = hermesMain( SETTINGS, rnd )
%HERMESMAIN function implements the main simulator drops loop
%   syntax 1: statistics = hermesMain( SETTINGS, rnd )
%
%   Inputs:
%       SETTINGS: struct that contains all simulation parameters
%       rnd: cell of randomStreams objects
%
%   Outputs:
%       statistics: object that contains all simulation statistics

% verify if parameters are valid
parameterCheck.generalCheckParameters( SETTINGS );

% creates scenario object
scenario = scenario.Scenario( SETTINGS, rnd );

% creates the statistic object
statistics = simulatorCore.Statistics( SETTINGS );

% initializes the DropLoop object
simulationLoop = simulatorCore.DropLoop( SETTINGS );

% runs simulation loop
simulationLoop.runLoop( statistics, scenario );
