 FlexSim data specifications

One of our customers wants to develop software that captures FlexSim data.

FlexSim data is in ".fsm" or ".fsx" format.

Is it possible to expose this data specification to our customers?


or,

Is the API for capturing FlexSim data publicly available?

fsm files are binary files that can only be saved and loaded via the FlexSim application.

fsx files are xml text files as described in XML in FlexSim. Their schema is described in XML schema.

You can capture any data about the model using the FlexScript and C++ APIs.

FlexScript Class Reference (flexsim.com)

Alphabetical Command Index (flexsim.com)

You can use the DLL Maker or Module SDK to write custom code that captures FlexSim data.
