Thanks Willem, Also I had a few other doubts that I was hoping you could clarify. Firstly, in Simio, under select add-in, I do not have the "Load Objects and Links from an external spreadsheet" option. All I have is the "Place Source, Server, Sink" option. Secondly, I am not able to set the output directory file path on Visual Studio. Can you help me out with that as well? Also, can you tell me which one is the assembly file for Simio? is it the .exe file? Guys, any help would be appreciated as I am completely new to this. Thanks.

Hey Guys, Couple of questions- 1. Which one is the Simio Assembly file that I have to copy? Is it the .exe file? 2. In the excel file, would I be able to change the properties to each workstation like exponential distribution, normal distribution, etc.? Thanks

Hey Glen, A couple of questions. They might be simple but I am completely new to this and I want to get it right 1. You say "Right-click the assembly and select properties. Then choose to "unblock" button and press apply". Can you tell me where in Simio is the assembly option? 2. Also, can we add properties like type of distribution for each work station (eg: exponential, uniform, etc.) in the excel file? If we can, would that be automatically reflected in simio when we automatically generate the model? 3. Can you give the C# code for this automatic model generation from excel to simio procedure? Thanks

Okay guys, I need some help. I am completely new to Simio and I migrated from Visio. I have just started playing around with Simio. But, I am building relatively large models and it takes some time to finish. Now, what I need to know is if there is a way to automatically generate a model in simio by linking it to an excel database? I am building production flow models to look at bottlenecks and so forth. So, I constantly update my database in excel. Also, if there is, can you tell me how I can do it? Would I need to code it in the Simio API? I installed Visual studio 2013 but I don't know how to connect it to Simio. I am completely new to this and any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
