Abstract :
In order to improve the efficiency of multi-resolution modeling and simulation, Base Object Model (BOM) based multi-resolution model for federated simulation is proposed in this paper. The whole process includes conceptual modeling design, component design, component assembly and federal simulation. BOM-based conceptual models are divided into two categories: basic BOM and the Resolution Related BOM (RR-BOM). Four-Step Modeling method is applied for those two types of BOMs. The completed BOMs are converted to their corresponding component implementations (BCIs). BOM library and BCI library are set up for model reuse. During the components assembly and federated simulation, Dual Engine Simulation (DES) is designed for multi-resolution simulation. Each federate has an Internal Exchange Service Server (IESS) for the internal component management. IESS provide time management, data management, resolution control and other services. The external supporting environment is Run Time Infrastructure (RTI). This method of modeling and simulation has been applied in industrial projects and greatly improved the efficiency for multi-resolution modeling for federated simulation.
