Abstract: Method and system for creating a simulation plan required for development of an interactive computer simulation of an interactive simulated system for training personnel on maintenance of a system. The simulation plan is created in memory preserving content from a maintenance manual for the system. For each section identified in the simulation plan, a plurality of simulated components of the interactive simulated system are associated with one or more components of the system. A unique section descriptor is associated with each individual component of the plurality of simulated components. A simulation-specification is then assigned to each unique section descriptor for developing an interactive simulated maintenance procedure from the maintenance-action content. The simulation plan is then stored in memory with each simulation-specification. Development of the interactive computer simulation of the interactive system necessitates completion of every one of the simulation-specifications.

Abstract: A method and a computer system for updating an original simulation plan into an updated simulation plan considering an updated maintenance manual for training personnel on maintenance of the system. One or more updated section descriptors are identified in the updated simulation plan comprising an updated expected behavior of the system. When new components of the system are present, new simulated components are associated with the updated section descriptors. Simulation-specifications of the updated section descriptors are updated for developing updated interactive simulated maintenance procedures from updated maintenance-action content. Simulation-work-order and design-work-orders are added to the simulation-specifications for updating a simulated behavior of the simulated system and for preparing animated sequences for displaying the simulated system accordingly during the updated interactive computer simulation. The updated simulation plan is then stored in memory.

Abstract: The present modeling tool and method dynamically generate a maintenance simulation of a vehicle. For doing so, a configuration interface receives a list of components of the vehicle, each particular component comprising parameters defining the particular component. The configuration interface further receives relationships between the components in the list, and determines a plurality of state, transitions, conditions, triggers and actions. A processing unit processes the data received and determined via the configuration interface to generate the maintenance simulation, the maintenance simulation comprising an aggregation of all the determined transitions between the components into a global state machine. The present method may further be performed by a computer program product.
