URDF packages

I apologize if this does not seem directly related to ROS but I am ultimately using this for ROS.

I have a URDF file of a robot that I created. I have also found a velodyne lidar simulator here: https://bitbucket.org/DataspeedInc/velodyne_simulator/src/master/

My question is: How do I use this simulator in/on the URDF file that I have for my robot? Is there a special way to link 2 URDF files together? I am VERY new to all of this. I would appreciate if you could keep the answers as simple as possible so that my tiny brain can understand lol. Thank you.

You can modify your URDF to use the include another URDF functionality with xacro.
