Research of Wrapping and Publishing Simulation Models in Virtual Prototype Engineering for Complex Product

In virtual prototyping engineering for complex product, how to make heterogeneous simulation models wrapped and published effectively and improve their interoperability and reuse, becomes one primary problem of collaborative simulation technology. To solve this problem, based on a research project supported by the Chinese National High-tech Research Development Plan (863Plan), a new approach was researched that adopts Web Service Technology to wrap and publish simulation models. And what’s more, the integrated framework of simulation models publishing platform based on collaborative simulation platform COSIM was put forward, and its key technology and implementation was also discussed. Finally, the mechanism of publishing and querying simulation models and their related information in collaborative design and simulation environment of virtual prototype for complex product was described to realize the goal of model resources reuse and data share.
