When you start the simulator it automatically downloads the PLC program to the simulator.  Then in CX-Programmer it's no different than if you were online with a real PLC.

You did not mention the PLC (Not all PLC can run the simulator)

You can not use the simulator for a CPM2A. That's why your simulator menu is grayed out.

Hint: You could convert your code to CP1L serie and it will work in simulator.
