.. _auto_simulation_add_local_file:

*ADD A FILE FOR THE SIMULATION*
===============================

Attaches a local (client-side) file to an existing simulation record on the d3VIEW platform. Use this worker when you need to associate a locally sourced file as an attachment to a specific simulation for downstream processing or reference.
