Adding an Excel Component to the Simulation Process Flow

You will now add an Excel workbook using the Excel component editor. This editor allows you to specify a workbook (which is then loaded in the component editor’s emulator) and to map parameters from the contents of the workbook.

  1. Click the Application Components tab in the component palette. The component palette is located on the Sim-flow tab below the component title bar and toolbar (near the center of the Design Gateway).

    When the Application Components tab is selected, the component palette displays all the currently loaded application components available in Isight. Application components take in input parameters, perform some function external to Isight, and provide new values to output parameters. The choice of components changes according to the tab that is selected.

  2. Drag-and-drop the Excel icon onto the red line on the simulation process flow canvas.

    Isight adds the Excel component to the simulation process flow.
