Abstract

Today's manufacturing systems are highly complex and many consist of continuous and discrete parts, called hybrid manufacturing systems. The model identification and the simulation capabilities are both key technologies improving the deep understanding of manufacturing processes like the industrial paper production. Discrete Event Simulation (DES) and the efficient handling of the continuous parts based on this DES approach enable the simulation of complex models [6]. This paper focuses on co-simulation aspects of large-scale systems and presents a two-domain approach. Finally, we consider the characteristics of a co-simulation framework and difficulties of model deployment, including simulation output analysis, data maintenance, and model integration. We close with simulation results of performance evaluations related to the two-domain approach.
