Abstract
This paper presents the results of research carried out in recent years in the area of modeling and simulation of production and assembly systems. The main goal of the article is to show the practical application of the multimodal approach in the simulation modeling of production and assembly systems and the benefits resulting from it. The article describes the issues of simulation modeling and presents a multi-level model of behaviors of the cyclic processes system, which is the backbone of the multimodal approach. The main part of the article is the concept of using a multimodal approach in simulation modeling and an example of its application. The main contribution of the paper is to define the methodology of simulation modeling based on cyclical processes - a multimodal approach and an approach to modeling from a high level where the basic object is a workstation.
