Abstract
An integrated simulation framework is proposed in this study. The proposed simulation framework provides an environment for developing various simulation systems for shipbuilding process planning. It consists of a simulation kernel, basic simulation component and application specific simulation component. The simulation kernel manages both DEVS and DTSS to deal with various simulation requests. The basic simulation component provides commonly used simulation models and modeling stratedgies, which are used to make a simulation system more efficient. The application specific simulation component implements the dynamics analysis, collision detection and realistic three dimensional visualization.
