The key technology research for integrated simulation of multi-disciplinary complex product system

Complex product system contains a number of different subsystems. The characteristics of multi-discipline and strong coupling exhibit due to the interconnection of subsystems. To achieve system-level optimization, integrated design on each subsystem is required. The traditional designing method using single simulation software is difficult to reflect the dynamic coupling among multiple subsystems. Therefore, the establishment of integrated design platform which is capable of multi-disciplinary and multi-domain simulation is necessary. This paper summarized the present design methods for multi-disciplinary integrated simulation platforms and the key technologies. Moreover, a case study with results was also provided to show the advantage of integrated multi-domain simulation. It will provide an important integrated authentication platform for the multi-disciplinary optimum design of complex product system. © 2017 World Scientific Publishing Company.
