Virtual Simulation Applications in Manufacturing Process of High-Speed Trains

Abstract

Process of high-speed trains manufacturing is a complicated task requiring strong professional background and practical experience. However, in China, the production mode is staying at the step that explore in actual production constantly, continue to discover and solve problems, low productivity but high manufacturing costs. In order to try to solve above problems, applications of virtual simulation in manufacturing process of high-speed trains is applied for the goals. According to the workshop’s two-dimensional (2D) designing, a digital factory is constructed using simulation software based on production manufacturing process of high-speed trains. Then production model is disaggregated analysis. When virtual simulation environment is accomplished, an assembly process turns to be run. An example of plug-door assembly process is presented to illustrate the effect and feasibility of the application of virtual simulation.

Development of Virtual Simulation in Manufacturing Industry

“…In this viewpoint, optimization theory needs to be embedded in simulation process to improve the output response formation of a variety of simulation and optimization structure, thus achieving overall optimization of the system simulation [17].…”
