Modelling material and information flow simulations
Tecnomatix Plant Simulation has multiple material and information flow class elements. In the following a set of preselected basic elements are explained upon an integrated example. For further information about available elements consult for example [Bangsow-2008] or [Siemens-2013].
The following material flow class elements are explained:
- Material units (entity, container and transporter),
- Source,
- Drain,
- Connector,
- Single processing,
- Event controller,
- Buffer,
- Assembly,
- Frame,
- Interface,
- Flow control,
- Worker,
- Workplace,
- Worker pool,
- Foot path,
- Broker, and
- Shift calendar.
The following information flow class elements are explained:
- Comments,
- Table file, and
- Queue file.
