  • System for combining originally software incompatible control, kinematic, and discrete event simulation systems into a single integrated simulation system
    Patent number: 5247650
    Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed which allows a plurality of dissimilar simulation systems to act in a cooperative manner such that they may act to provide a single overall simulation of a system. The system to be simulated is partitioned into these simulation systems and subsequently these systems are networked and synchronized. This interaction of these dissimilar simulation systems is accomplished by a simulation tool which allows a simulation system to route messages to other systems, synchronizes the operation of all simulation systems, allows partitioning elements to be stored and downloaded to these systems, and allows each simulation system to utilize its own native programming language during the creation of the single system simulation associated therewith.
