Abstract

This paper describes a diagramming methodology, referred to as an Object Flow Diagram (OFD), that is intended to be a key component in the conceptual design of a discrete-event simulation model. It provides an effective means for representing salient system elements and their relationships. It draws upon other popular system diagramming methods, such as IDEF0 and IDEF3, to bring the relevant aspects of these tools to the simulation modeler. It is intended to be easy to apply, with few symbols and constructs, yet robust and comprehensive enough to represent a wide variety of systems. It is simulation software neutral and thus provides a basis for model development in any language. A simple example is used to illustrate the approach. The methodology has been used in industry projects and in simulation courses.
促进仿真模型开发的概念设计工具:对象流程图
本文描述了一种绘图方法,称为对象流程图(OFD),它旨在成为离散事件仿真模型概念设计中的关键组成部分。它为表示突出的系统要素及其关系提供了一种有效的方法。它借鉴了其他流行的系统绘图方法,如IDEF0和IDEF3,将这些工具的相关方面引入仿真建模器。它的目的是易于应用,使用很少的符号和结构,但足够健壮和全面,以表示各种各样的系统。它是中立的仿真软件,因此为任何语言的模型开发提供了基础。用一个简单的例子来说明这种方法。该方法已在工业项目和模拟课程中使用。
