Analysis and Design of Simulation System for Logistics in Steelmaking Process Based on UML

Focusing on the advance in research and development of simulation system for logistics in steelmaking process, based on the confined development goal, a simulation software for logistics in steelmaking process was developed. The procedure of the software development was introduced. The requirements analysis of the simulation system was described with UML modeling tool. The UML model of system design was built up. The simulation software for logistics in steelmaking process was developed. A simulation case for the process at the Vanadium Extracting and Steelmaking Plant of Panzhihua Iron and Steel Co. was conducted. From the result of the simulation case, it is shown that the simulation system is valid and helpful for the computer-assistant decision-making for steel making production.
