There is a method in BaseController called startSim() that is called
when you click the button.  This then calls the begin() method from your
model, as well as the getSchedule stuff.  

You could call this method directly to start the model from code.  Take
a look at the javadocs/source code for BaseController,
AbstractGuiController and Controller for more information.
