Network configurations created and saved in NetSim can be exported as a *.netsim_exp file. This exported netsim experiment file can be imported as explained below:


  1. Click on the Open Simulation option in NetSim Home Screen. NetSim will now display a list of experiments (if any) that were already saved. 
  2. Click on the Import Experiment Option present in the bottom right of the window.
  3. In the Import Experiment window that appears, browse to the path of the *.netsim_exp file that you want to import and select it. 
  4. From NetSim v12.0 onwards, NetSim Configuration files (Configuration.netsim) can also be imported. In which case, you will also have to specify a name for the experiment.
  5. Click on OK. Now the imported experiment will be part of the list of experiments.
  6. You can click on the experiment name to load the network in the NetSim design window.
