Estimating the term…
In a conventional manufacturing line simulation, there are a number of input items, and therefore, time is required for input. In addition, depending on the objective of the simulation, there are also parameters for which input is not required, and therefore, there is the problem of reducing the number of inputs according to the library. The present invention is configured to be provided with: a simulation library presentation unit which presents, to a user, a plurality of items of model libraries which are stored in a storage unit so as to receive specification of items of the model libraries from the user; a priority degree imparting unit which, with respect to the specified items of the model libraries, uses an input association table stored in the storage unit in order to calculate the priorities of the input items so as to present an input screen to the user on the basis of the calculated priorities; a simulation input receiving unit for receiving input of the input items on the user screen; and a duplicate data generation unit which, with respect to the duplicate items indicated in the input item association table, duplicates data that has been already received at the simulation input receiving unit.
A manufacturing line simulation device using a manufacturing line model, the manufacturing line simulation device comprising:
The manufacturing line simulation device according to 1, wherein the priority impartment unit rearranges the input items in order on the basis of the calculated priorities and presents a resultant input screen to the user.
The manufacturing line simulation device according to 1, wherein on the input screen, data duplicated by the overlapping data generation unit are presented to the user in a state in which the data duplicated by the overlapping data generation unit are already input to corresponding input items.
The manufacturing line simulation device according to 1, wherein a degree of overlapping between input items shown in the input item association table is weighted in priority on the basis of an inclusion relation between input items.
The manufacturing line simulation device according to 1, wherein the priority impartment unit narrows down input items required for the manufacturing line simulation from among input items in accordance with the specified model library item, and presents resultant input items to the user.
A data input assistance device for assisting data input in manufacturing line simulation using a manufacturing line model, the data input assistance device comprising:
The data input assistance device according to 6, wherein the priority impartment unit rearranges order of the input items on the basis of the calculated priorities and presents a resultant input screen to the user.
The data input assistance device according to 6, wherein on the input screen, data duplicated by the overlapping data generation unit are presented to the user in a state in which the data duplicated by the overlapping data generation unit are already input to corresponding input items.
