Virtual manufacturing systems and environment

Hanwu He, Xiong Youlun, Yang Shuzi, Bo Wu

Abstract

Virtual manufacturing (VM) is a simulation method whereby it is possible to estimate manufacturing processes without using real facilities. This paper gives an overview of the modelling and simulation environment of virtual manufacturing systems, and introduces the technologies of modelling and simulation such as object-oriented technology. We also discussed the virtual manufacturing systems framework, virtual manufacturing environment, and the automated manufacturability analysis. The main research issues of virtual manufacturing are discussed.
