Abstract
In this paper a module-based methodology for the automated configuration of machine simulation is presented. The aim is the fast generation of different simulation models for control tests and virtual commissioning which are based on a module database. This approach can be integrated into current engineering processes of machine builders. Depending on the degree of detail of the module, the simulation can be used in individual engineering steps. Therefore, it is not necessary to have completed engineering data. The methodology comprises several steps beginning with the systematic module identification based on the machine components and its functions; followed by the evaluation and assessment of the identified modules. Finally the modules are modeled and validated for the automatic or manual configuration of simulation models from a module database. The impact of the methodology is examined exemplarily on a production machine.
