Abstract: System and method for simulating an industrial system with a plurality of industrial processes in communication with each other directly or indirectly. The systems and method include: simulating a plurality of industrial processes by providing a set of simulation components, wherein each simulation component simulates one or more industrial processes; defining, for each simulation component, a corresponding encapsulating simulation component; and simulating the industrial system.

Abstract: Product Lifecycle Management systems, methods, and mediums. A method includes generating a simulation of an environment within a predefined space. The method includes identifying one or more locations and a process for a human to perform a task in the predefined space based on the simulation in response to receiving a request to plan the process. The method includes identifying a time spent at the one or more locations for the task to be performed. The method includes identifying values for exposure to one or more hazardous sources at each of the one or more locations from a file. The method includes calculating an amount of exposure to the one or more hazardous sources in the simulation based on the one or more locations, the process the time spent and the identified functions for exposure from the file. Additionally, the method includes determining whether the amount exceeds a threshold value.
