Abstract

Integrating simulation in the design process of production systems allows the predicted performance of design alternatives to be compared. However, many iterations of specifying the design, constructing the simulation model, performing simulation experiments, and evaluating the simulation results for each (re)design are required. The process of specifying, modelling, simulating, and evaluating a design can be automated using a framework for automated design space exploration of production systems. This paper presents a formal specification language for the design space of a production system topology. Using the specification of the design space, feasible designs can be generated. The language supports the specification of component types, component instances, and constraints such as how many instances of a type are allowed and how components are allowed to be connected. The specification language is validated through an adaptation of an industrial case study.
