Hi I wonder if this is possible in Ignition platform.  
Simply I created new OPCUA connections in (my simulation server)

I wonder if it is possible to view my simulation server inside the Ignition's OPCUA server itself.  
How can I achieve this?  
Using OPCUA expert and connecting to Ignition opcua server will only let me view data from the Device connections.

Not entirely, because it's not an aggregating server, but if you enable the "Expose Tags" option in Ignition's OPC UA server settings, then any _Tags_ you create from any connected OPC servers will be visible in addition to the Devices.

Hi Kevin, thanks for your answer.  
Just to clarify, the Expose is thr settings similar to "Expose Tag providers"?

Yes, that's the setting. Ignition must be restarted for it to take effect.
