Abstract
Recently, requests for accurate process planning using simulation have been increasing in many engineering fields including the shipbuilding industry and many application systems for simulation have been developed. It is difficult, however, for the developer to reuse the developed simulation models, because the simulation models in the system are defined by its own method. In addition, the simulation model should be modified whenever a simulation sequence, which is called a scenario, is changed. Therefore, in this study, the elementary simulation model is proposed to modularize simulation models. And the scheme of scenario management is proposed to manage the scenario outside of the simulation models. Also, the simulation template is proposed to increase the development efficiency. To verify the efficiency of the proposed methods, an application example for shipbuilding process planning is implemented.
