I have examined the related question and other documents on this subject. However, due to the very limited documentation, I still have some questions. In fact our goal is to create a digital twin-like platform with Flexsim. For example, creating a new customized interface by exporting data. And also, modify some data in the running simulation by sending data into the program (temperature, speed etc.). Can you share more detailed tutorials or documents of webkit and webserver applications in the link you specified? I am open to all your ideas and suggestions.

Best Regards.

One way of doing this is creating a dashboard that has buttons, edit fields, and other gui objects that you can edit, then run the flexsim webserver, and set the model to only show the dashboard. Other than that you would have to build the structure yourself using socket protocols and other means of communication suggested in the link I sent.
