摘要

AutoMod differs significantly from other simulation systems because of its ability to deal with the physical elements of a system in physical (graphical) terms and the logical elements of a system in logical terms. AutoMod also offers advanced features that allow users to simulate complex movement (kinematics and velocity) of equipment such as robots, machine tools, transfer lines, and special machinery. All graphics are represented in 3D space with unlimited viewing control including: translation, rotation, scale, light sourced solids, perspective, and continuous motion viewing. AutoMod's CAD features are used to define the physical layout of manufacturing, material handling, and distribution systems. Unlike most other simulation languages, AutoMod's powerful graphical interface accurately captures the physical constraints of distance, size, and space in 3D. AutoMod is really two programs. The build portion is for the physical and logical model definition. The resulting executable model is fully interactive, and can be stopped at any instant in simulated time to view statistics and model status. Significant enhancements to conveyor movement systems and resources have been added in the newest version of the software, AutoMod v8.6. These enhancements solidify AutoMod's position as a world class simulation tool for accurate and precise, true to scale modeling of material handling, manufacturing, and distribution systems.
