Simulation data exchange (SDX) implementation and use
Facility layouts of existing or proposed production systems often form the basis of a dynamic simulation study to prove the design concept and to determine if the required throughput (jobs per hour) can be achieved. Traditionally, this requires the simulation engineer to duplicate the CAD drawing in the simulation environment before being able to model it. With sophisticated manufacturing systems such as conveyor networks, material handling systems, automotive plants and powertrain facilities, this job can be very difficult, time consuming and error prone. An application and interface was needed to provide an automated integration of the layout and simulation technologies for manufacturing. This paper discusses SDX (Simulation Data Exchange) and its implementation.
