Description
Summary:Virtual manufacturing systems are integrated computer models that represent the precise and whole structure of manufacturing systems and simulate their physical and logical behavior in operation. Since each virtual manufacturing system is an aggregation of various computer hardware and software, it is necessary to develop a system architecture which defines functional components required for modelling and simulation, interfaces between components, virtual-real interactions, and system infrastructure. This paper deals with a modelling and simulation architecture for virtual manufacturing systems for the practical development and describes a method of modelling and simulation for distributed simulation of virtual manufacturing systems.
