This paper presents a generic framework for Concurrent Simulation Engineering (CSE). Based upon the general principles of Concurrent Engineering (CE), concurrent alternatives to the hitherto mainly linear, multiple feedback Modelling/Simulation/Validation process are proposed. Characteristics, merits and requirements of CE lead to the discussion of the actual framework, accentuating the need fo...

The paper describes a system to design computer processors and to simulate their behaviour during the execution of assembly user programs. The system, called APE (Architecture Prototyping Environment), is based on a dynamic object oriented definition and use of processor components. After the user choice of the architecture components, the system builds a processor simulator allowing users to s...

A new approach to modelling human systems as reusable components of manufacturing workplaces is described. Graphical and computer executable models of people competences and behaviours are created which are qualitatively and quantitatively matched to equivalent models of process networks, decomposed into roles and dependencies between roles. To enable model creation and reuse, coherent sets of ...

We present Computer Automated Multi-Paradigm Modelling (CAMPaM) (Mosterman and Vangheluwe 2002) for ModelDriven Development based on Meta-Modelling and Graph Transformation. The syntax of a class of models of interest is graphically meta-modelled in an appropriate formalism such as Entity-Relationship Diagrams. From this description of abstract syntax, augmented with concrete (visual) syntax in...

In recent years, flexible manufacturing system as a response to market demands has been proposed to increase product diversity, optimum utilization of machines andperiods of short-term products.The development of computer systems has provided the ability to build machines with high functionality and the necessary flexibility to perform various operations. However, due to the complexity and the ...

Electrochemical machining is one of the most effective methods in machining of hard and complex shapes. As a result, it is a very good candidate for inside rifle machining. In this paper the principles and mathematical modelling, the results of computer simulation and experimental investigations of electrochemical rifling tool are presented. From this point of view, a rifling tool in electroche...

Computational analysis and modelling of wave propagation and interaction with objects are essential to help understand the fundamental problems of wave travelling. Though various methods have been proposed to model the wave propagation procedures, Monte Carlo simulation plays important role as an effective method to trace individual phone history, based on the statistics of large photon populat...

For improving the reliability and efficiency of the dynamic modelling and simulation of planar linkage with revolute joint clearances, the corresponding vector bond graph procedure is proposed. Based on the kinematic relations, the vector bond graph model of a rigid body undergoing planar motion is built. Besides this, the vector bond graph model of revolute joint clearance is made based on con...

Distance learning is the important addition to traditional education. Electronic tutorials can greatly improve the effectiveness of student’s work because of computer modelling, imitation of physical processes and phenomena. Electronic tutorials play the most important role in the advancing of distance learning. The computer demonstrations as important didactic means at study of physics in syst...
