SimOpt: A new simulation optimization system based virtual simulation for manufacturing system

Through combined with advanced technologies and considered simulation optimization technology development, based on a principle separating the simulation model from optimization algorithm, a new framework of simulation optimization is constructed. According to object-oriented modeling technique, a virtual simulation modeling subsystem is put forward. At the same time, as a kernel of the system, an optimization subsystem is also described, which uses a new hybrid optimization algorithm and an optimization engine based Runtime Automat. Finally, SimOpt, a simulation optimization system oriented to manufacturing system, is developed.
