Abstract

Complex artifacts and systems generally embody multidisciplinary knowledge, which make the computer supported collaboration among experts and designers a must. Multidisciplinary collaborative modeling and simulation (M&S) technology is an effective approach for the design and development of the complex product. The challenge now faced is how to apply the multidisciplinary collaborative M&S in the systematic level of complex product development. The key issue is how to integrate the heterogeneous, autonomous software tools in a distributed environment. In this paper, we report the rationale and implementation of such a multidisciplinary collaborative M&S framework based on the high level architecture (HLA) and web services. The design process in the collaborative design paradigm is principally analyzed. A modeling and simulation platform with the focus of multidisciplinary collaborative design is presented. Besides its key technologies for HLA and web services based integration are studied. It turns out that this approach should be effective and intuitive very much by analyzing the tilting component of a tilting locomotive as an instance.
