A holistic approach for virtual commissioning of intelligent systems: Model-based systems engineering for the development of a turn-milling center

Due to the Industrial Internet of Things and rising complexity of intelligent technical systems efficient design and test processes for mechanical and plant engineering become more important. The design and test process encompasses the discipline-spanning system design in early phases, virtual prototyping as well as virtual commissioning in test phases. This contribution illustrates a holistic model-based approach, which supports these activities in terms of Model-Based Systems Engineering. The paper shows the development from the system model and especially the requirements engineering via the detailed simulation of the physical behavior to the virtual commissioning of a vertical turn-milling-center.
