Creation of a self adaptive simulation for Radex Heraklit Industries

The main goal of this project was to create a simulation of the production plant of Radex Heraklit Industries (RHI) that offers the possibility to change the structure of the model by adding machines and furnaces and change system parameters. The large amount of data needed soon implied the use of a database connected to the simulation. This resulted in a simulation that not only imported the needed data for simulating but also data concerning the whole model structure. Only a basic structure is implemented and according to the data imported from the database the full simulation model is created on resetting. This offers a high flexibility: machines can be added and removed, parameters changed as well as the whole course of manufacture only by editing the corresponding data in the database. The data collected during simulation allows a precise analysis and comparison of single simulation runs.
