Abstract
Emulator computer program methods using an emulator module are disclosed. A computer program method includes a computer usable medium for emulating a process of a machine having actuators and mechanical elements. The computer usable medium is configured to display a graphical user interface having input fields corresponding to the actuators and mechanical elements, and to display a graphical representation of output response data of the machine using inputted parameters. A plurality of parameters are input into the plurality of input fields for emulating a mechanical operation of the machine using the plurality of parameters. Output response data based on an emulation of the mechanical operation of the machine is generated and displayed.
Claims18
A method in a computer system for emulating a process of a machine having a plurality of actuators and a plurality of mechanical elements, the method comprising:
- presenting a plurality of input fields requesting a plurality of parameters associated with the plurality of actuators and the plurality of mechanical elements;
- calculating, by a computer, output response data by an emulation of a mechanical operation of the machine using the plurality of parameters;
- providing at least a portion of the output response data to a product model wherein the product model is a mathematical model configured to calculate one or more predicted product values based at least in part on the output response data provided to the product model;
- presenting a graphical representation of the output response data;
- and,
- presenting an animation of at least one predicted machine operation based at least in part on the output response data.
