Ontology based semantic interconnection of distributed numerical simulations for virtual production

The focus of this work is to promote the semantic interconnection of distributed numerical simulations for virtual production systems. The product planning phase usually requires a huge range of various numerical simulations that are used by different departments of a company. To increase productivity on the one hand and reduce complexity of simulation chains on the other hand, it is essential to be able to interconnect the differing syntax and semantics of the distributed numerical simulations. The interconnection is realized by an ontology based tool for data integration that is used within a simulation platform.
