Import a Text File or an Object File into a List

The Plant Simulation lists TableFile , CardFile , QueueFile and StackFile ( and ) and TimeSequence can open text files, Plant Simulation
object files, XML files, and Microsoft Excel files, which contain the data you want to use in your simulation project.
• Before you open a text file, we advise to select the correct data type that fits the data you are going to import into the individual columns of the
TableFile. If the text file has a column header, which you want to also use in your Plant Simulation list, activate and show the column index in the
Plant Simulation list.

• To open a text file or an Plant Simulation object file in a list, click Import File on the List ribbon tab.

• Navigate to the folder where you stored the file. Select the type of file you would like to open and click Open.

Note that Plant Simulation opened the object file with the formatting, which the original file had. For the text file we had to manually select the
