Abstract
An integrated simulation system includes a first simulation device which executes a simulation of a first program, a second simulation device which executes a simulation of a second program, a start timing setting section which sets start timing for the correlated first program and second program so as to verify the presence or absence of malfunctions caused by a start order of the correlated first program and second program, and a program starting section which issues commands to the first simulation device and the second simulation device to start the correlated first program and second program at the set start timing by a single starting operation.
Claims8
An integrated simulation system, comprising:
- a first simulation device configured to execute a simulation of a first program describing a command for a first machine,
- a second simulation device configured to execute a simulation of a second program describing a command for a second machine which performs an operation in cooperation with the first machine, and
- a processor configured to
- acquire data related to the first program and the second program,
- correlate the first program and the second program based on the acquired data,
- set start timing for the correlated first program and second program so as to verify presence or absence of malfunctions caused by a start order of the correlated first program and second program, and
- issue commands to the first simulation device and the second simulation device to start the correlated first program and second program at the set start timing by a single starting operation,
- wherein the set start timing includes
- a correct start order and an incorrect start order of the first program and second program, or
- a correct start time and an incorrect start time of the first program and second program, and
- the set start timing is simulated by the single starting operation.
