Modellierung, Simulation und Transformation von diskreten Prozessen in der Produktion und Logistik auf der Basis von SysML

While standardized description languages are established in many domains there is a deficit in the field of descriptive modeling of discrete processes. This includes for example process descriptions for production, logistics, hospital logistics or the building industry. This field is often referred to as discrete event modeling and simulation in the literature. This dissertation deals with the provision of a homogeneous modeling concept for process modeling. With this concept it shall not only be possible to model discrete scenarios as versatile as possible but it shall also support the design of suitable simulators. In this dissertation a concept is developed and implemented using the modeling language SysML. The concept divides the complete model into nine sub-models to reduce the complexity and to provide a modeling approach which is as coherent and powerful as possible. In practice the described models are generated and simulated using commercial simulators. In order to use the modeling concept of this dissertation a concept for the transformation into models of commercial simulators was designed. Furthermore converters for the simulation tools Anylogic, Flexsim, Simcron and Factory Explorer were developed. To test the validity of the model transformation a concept for the verification and validation of the model transformation was developed. In order to be able to create models as comfortable as possible the modeling tool TOPCASED Engineer was implemented which is based on the open source modeling tool TOPCASED. With this tool models based on our concept can be created in a convenient way. To test the modeling concept for the implementation of the simulator and to offer an integrated free of charge concept a gratis simulator was implemented. Finally the modeling concept was tested in the various domains of semiconductor manufacturing, inline production of solar cells, assembly processes, logistics processes and in the building industry. All domains could be reproduced without major difficulties. The corresponding extensions of the meta model are also outlined in the dissertation.
