Abstract

Large, complex construction projects, such as industrial plant construction, are not well suited to discrete-event process interaction simulation. The authors present a distributed simulation of industrial plant construction using separate modules inter-linked via the High Level Architecture (HLA). This enables the capture of all features, resources, and processes required to design, build, and maintain a facility, and an HLA-based approach simplifies collaborative development and improves reusability of components. The proposed methodology for simulating industrial construction is validated using COSYE, a Construction Synthetic Environment developed at the University of Alberta.
