A folder that resides in a data category is called a simulation folder. You can create a simulation folder inside a data category, and you can create a simulation folder inside an existing simulation folder (subfolders).

You can specify whether a simulation folder that is imported into the database by an upload rule will be marked as input. All of the folders and documents inside the simulation folder are also marked as input.

In most cases, your folders will contain either subfolders or documents. You can create folder export and upload rules to move data between the working directory and the documents in your simulation folders. Folder rules mirror the hierarchy of folders and documents in your simulation and the corresponding directories and files in the working directory.
