Following this post I now want to substitute the Arduino board with an MCU. I have found this schematic layout where it uses an external crystal oscilator:
however, I'm not able to find a crystal oscillator component in SimulIDE. I would appreciate if you could help me know if there is such an item already built-in, or if not how can I represent it using a combination of other components?

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Thanks. I have also recived this reply to model it as an RCL. I will give it a try, but it would be nice to have it as later this will be used to creat the PCB layout.
As a side note it would be great if we could import/export some flavours of netlist. For example I model something in KiCAD and export the netlist for modeling in SimulIDE...

You don't need a crystal oscillator component in SimulIDE, just set MCU speed (MHz) in it's properties

Anyway connecting any kind of oscillator to the MCU in simulide has no effect at all.
MCU speed is determined only by MHz property.
Importing/exporting netlist is something i want to do, but i don't see it implemented in the short term.
