Abstract
The increasing complexity and costs of modern production processes makes it necessary to plan processes virtually before they are tested and realized in real environments. Therefore, several tools facilitating the simulation of different production techniques and design domains have been developed. On the one hand there are specialized tools simulating specific production techniques with exactness close to the real object of the simulation. On the other hand there are simulations which simulate whole production processes, but in general do not achieve prediction accuracy comparable to such specialized tools. Hence, the interconnection of tools is the only way, because otherwise the achievable prediction accuracy would be insufficient. In this chapter, a framework is presented that helps to interconnect heterogeneous simulation tools, considering their incompatible file formats, different semantics of data and missing data consistency.
