  • Method and apparatus for computer aided simulation of a modular technical system
    Patent number: 11988998
    Abstract: A method and a device for the computer-assisted simulation of a modular technical system, wherein for each real module of the modular technical system, a corresponding virtual module is generated, is provided. The virtual module includes a controller for controlling a module-specific process and at least one module-specific simulation model, to which model type information is assigned, for simulating the model-specific process. The virtual module is designed to simulate the module-specific process that is controlled by the controller by means of the module-specific simulation model and/or the controller of the real module, and is provided for a computer-assisted simulation of the modular technical system as a data container. In particular, the following allows a virtual start-up of modular process systems.
