How to run gatling from code

Question

I would like to run Gatling test from code. How to do it? Tutorials says only about command line and sbt.

Context: I would like to extend tests. In background I have custom socket communication which I need to simulate. From that simulation I need to pass some generated Ids to Gatling test. I could do it by running it from my simulation app with parameters (but I don't know yet how). Other solution would be also a good answer.

I could do some passing through file and http://gatling.io/docs/2.1.6/cookbook/passing_parameters.html , but it is ugly..

Maybe there is way to run sbt task from scala code?

import io.gatling.app.Gatling
import io.gatling.core.config.GatlingPropertiesBuilder

object Engine extends App {

  val props = new GatlingPropertiesBuilder
  props.simulationClass("your.simulation.class.goes.here")
  props.dataDirectory("path.to.data.directory") //optional
  props.resultsDirectory("path.to.results.directory") //optional
  props.bodiesDirectory("path.to.template.directory") //optional
  props.binariesDirectory("path.to.binaries.directory") //optional

  Gatling.fromMap(props.build)
}

Hope this will help.
