Share

Simul8 Share allows our users to share their simulations with colleagues, even those without a Simul8 license, to generate discussion and drive decision making.

The Share feature is restricted to only sharing to other users in your organization, managed by your email domain (e.g. an @Simul8.com email address can share with other @Simul8.com email addresses, or similar ones such as @Simul8.co.uk).

Share can be used to share one simulation file with up to 5 others. If you wish to share a different simulation, the first one must be revoked first.

To start sharing your simulations, follow these steps.

Sharing from Simul8 Desktop

Step 1:

When you are at the stage where you want to share your simulation and its insight with someone else, on the Simul8 Ribbon, go to Home > Share. Please make sure you have saved your simulation first.Simul8 Share 1

A dialog will then pop up asking you to sign into Simul8 Online. You can choose for Simul8 to remember your login details for 30 days so that you don't need to enter your login credentials every time you want to share.Simul8 Share2

Receiving a Shared Simulation

Your colleague(s) will receive an email prompting them to login in to Simul8 Online. Please note that the recipient will receive an email to log in and view the shared simulation, regardless of whether they have a license or not. They should proceed with this and view "My Shared Simulations". They will have access to this model for 7 days from the last modified & saved date. This means that if you save & share a simulation today, the recipient has 7 days to access and view the model online.
