Abstract :
Continuous Petri nets (PNs) are presented, and continuous PN behavior is compared with the referential model (timed PN). A criterion is proposed to evaluate the approximation given by the continuous PN. The validity of this model is justified by comparison with the referential model (timed PN). This comparison permits the validation of the continuous model. The application of this tool for studying the dynamic behavior of manufacturing lines is discussed. Some properties of such lines are pointed out and then demonstrated using the analytical capacities of the continuous PN
