1. Select Tools→Simulation→Import SIMUL8 File to display a standard Open dialog box.
2. Select to import files or directories from the Import list.
3. Select the .XS8 files or directory you want to import and click Open.
   
   
      Multi-selection
   You select several files simultaneously using the ctrl or shift keys. You cannot select several directories.
   
   
4. Click OK.
   
   The imported objects are added to your model. They are visible in the diagram and in the Browser. They are also listed in the Reverse tab of the Output window, located in the lower part of the main window.
   
   If the model in which you are importing already contains data, the Merge Models dialog box is displayed.
