Customize Flexsim to integrate with Teamcenter API

Hello,

Here I need to customize my FlexSim to understand the XML format from Teamcenter, so that I can integrate Teamcenter with FlexSim.

I have no idea how to integrate them.

Can you help me with this.

Software Version:

@Trex I think the big question is what do you want to integrate. What is it in teamcenter that you want in FlexSim? Is it needed for that parse XML or can teamcenter spit out that information in for instance a textfile or a different format?

The reason I'm asking is that FlexSim can read and understand only it's own XML. So if you have XML with completely different tags you have to parse that file your self. Take a look at this post if you want to do in C++ (so as a dll connected to FlexSim)

But for instance this might a lot easier in C#. So if you can parse the file with C# and get the parts out that you want to use in FlexSim that might a good solution.
