Abstract :
This paper describes several methods for using the Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML) as the visualization integration technology for manufacturing simulation systems. One of our goals was to develop an integration methodology based on the Web-Based Manufacturing translators to produce reusable VRML assembly components and Simulation. Virtual Reality (VR) can be handled as improved animation operated by a simulation system. Manufacturing basically comprises some basic classes of engineering tasks, these tasks could benefit from the application of VR through the high-fidelity visualizations, providing model and situation representation in the 3D space, and the power of interactive handling of large data sets in real-time or near real-time. The underlying principles of VR via VRML are described and applications in design and manufacturing tasks are illustrated by assembly planning and intelligent robotic examples. The final, we propose Robotic-Simulator software design and a framework for the Web-Based Manufacturing Simulation.
