Abstract

Multidisciplinary models of complex products are developed by heterogeneous CAE tools in a distributed simulation environment. It is a key technology to integrate CAE models together, making them work collaboratively. In this paper, a modular method is proposed. First, a stage-by-stage modeling method is presented to reduce the interaction between modeling and simulation. Then, HLA and web service technology are employed to facilitate the simulation process. To fulfill the HLA based simulation, the development method of a general HLA adaptor is illustrated. A case study demonstrates the effectiveness of this approach.
