Tecnomatix Plant Simulation : Modeling and Programming by Means of Examples

This book systematically introduces readers to the development of simulation models as well as the implementation and evaluation of simulation experiments with Tecnomatix Plant Simulation. Intended for all Plant Simulation users whose work involves complex tasks, it also offers an easy start for newcomers. Particular attention has been paid to introducing the simulation flow language SimTalk and its use in various aspects of simulation. In over 200 examples, the author demonstrates how to combine the blocks for simulation models and how to employ SimTalk in complex control and analysis tasks. The content ranges from a description of the basic functions of the material flow blocks to more advanced topics such as the implementation of database-supported warehouse control by using the SQLite interface, and the exchange of data using XML, ActiveX, COM or DDE.
