Microlearning videos: Small lessons, big impact
We’ve added a new set of bite-sized microlearning videos focused on simulator integrations in CDF. These short lessons cover key concepts and practical steps, making it easier to learn at your own pace.

Simulator Integrations: Core Concepts
Discover how simulator integrations support optimization and digital twins by connecting simulation tools to CDF, and how these building blocks work together to run and manage simulations effectively.

The Simulators API: Key Resources and Data Flow
Explore how simulations are created, controlled, and tracked in CDF- from defining models and routines to running simulations and reviewing results and logs.

Configuring a Simulator Connector
Learn how to set up a Windows-based simulator connector so CDF can securely communicate with your simulation tools, including authentication, network access, and service configuration.

Configuring Simulator Routines
Learn how to define reusable simulation setups that control how simulations run, covering inputs, outputs, scheduling, and execution logic.

Data Sampling and Validation
Find out how to ensure your simulations run on reliable, high-quality data by configuring time windows, sampling strategies, and validation checks to catch unstable or invalid inputs.

Triggering Simulation Runs
Understand how to start simulations manually, automatically, or programmatically - and how to review outcomes using logs and simulation results.

How-To Guide articles: Practical Tips from the Experts
We’ve added a fresh set of how-to guides. These articles are designed to help you troubleshoot faster, work more efficiently, and get the most out of CDF.

How to fix Video Playback Failure – Error Code: 232011
Get back to streaming smoothly by resolving the common 232011 playback error. This guide walks you through clearing cache and cookies, checking browser settings, and avoiding common conflicts.

How to: Understanding CDF User Access and Entra ID Connectivity
Take a closer look at how CDF handles orphaned content and access loss, along with admin best practices to ensure critical data remains accessible.

How to Build Efficient Transformations in CDF
Improve performance and scalability in your CDF transformations using proven techniques like early data filtering, incremental logic with is_new, and CDF Workflows for complex jobs.

How to Upload Large Files to CDF
Confidently upload files larger than 5 GiB using Multipart Upload. Learn how to split data into chunks, enable parallel uploads with retries, and implement the flow using the Cognite Python SDK.

How-To: Getting started with the CDF File Extractor from local folder to data model
Set up the CDF File Extractor on Windows to ingest local files into CDF. This guide covers downloading the extractor, configuring authentication, and mapping files to Core Data Model objects.

How-To: Getting started with the CDF DB Extractor to populate staging (RAW) with records from a CSV file
Ingest local CSV data into CDF Staging (RAW) on Windows using the Cognite DB Extractor. Learn how to configure authentication, treat CSVs as spreadsheet databases, and populate target RAW tables.

How-To: Use a CSV file to populate data points for a time series (data model) with the CDF DB Extractor
Load CSV data directly into CDF Time Series on Windows. This article explains how to map timestamps, values, and external IDs to create or update CogniteTimeSeries objects.

How to: Transformation Execution Timestamps Explained
Demystify CDF transformation timestamps - Created Time, Started Time, and Duration - so you can better understand performance without confusion from queuing delays.

How to add filtering in Cognite OPC UA Extractor
Gain more control over OPC UA data ingestion by defining effective filters. Learn how to use the Include transformation and full tag hierarchies for accurate extraction.

How to resolve 'Bounding Box is empty' error when uploading a .LAZ file
Fix this common 3D point cloud issue by re-saving LAZ files with compressor 2 or converting them to E57 using tools like CloudCompare.

How to resolve 'This Location contains no files yet' error in diagram parsing for data modeling
Ensure files are visible for Diagram Parsing in CDF Data Modeling by correctly including them in the data model and linking them to a Location with the right instance spaces.
