Using External Files

In Simul8 Online you can use external files, such as Excel and CSV, in the same way as our desktop version.

Importing external files into Simul8 Online

One way to import the data from an Excel spreadsheet into Simul8 is via our Excel Connections feature. This works in the same way as in the desktop version and more information on it can be found here:

Simul8 Excel Connections

Alternatively, you can use Simul8’s Visual Logic command of Get from EXCEL:

Simul8 Get from EXCEL

It works in the same way as in Simul8’s desktop version. However, note that any Excel (.xlsx) and Comma Delimited (.csv) files need to be uploaded into your My Projects section prior to running the Visual Logic command.

In your My Projects section, you can upload any Excel and CSV file in the External files section.
