Here is a link to an answer that explains how you can automatically configure and run a FlexSim model: https://answers.flexsim.com/questions/21116/automatically-configure-and-run-a-flexsim-model.html

You can evoke applications, such as FlexSim, from C# using the .NET Framework System.Diagnostics.Process object.

Use the OnModelOpen trigger to import the data from Excel, and write the simulation data output to text files that your C# application can read.
