Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of dynamic integrated design of industrial simulation software, and in particular to a dynamic integrated design method and system for complex and large-scale industrial simulation software. Background Art

[0002] In the complex field of large-scale industrial simulation, a large amount of commercial simulation analysis software is often required. At the same time, to solve specific problems, a large amount of in-house analysis and calculation software is developed, accumulating rich experience and data results. However, there is a lack of connection between these software programs: in terms of usage processes, software and data are completely independent, and data transmission between software programs relies entirely on offline manual point-to-point transmission, which can easily lead to data loss. In terms of management, the large number of software programs, the scattered installation and use of software, and the lack of a unified operation and management platform make collaborative work difficult and hinder the sharing of experience and results. The main reason for this problem is the independent development of software. The diversity of development languages leads to inconsistent interfaces, which makes software integration very difficult.

[0003] At present, there are similar multi-source heterogeneous simulation software integration platform methods in the industry. The existing methods for multi-source heterogeneous simulation software integration are as follows: one is to achieve integration based on uniformly developed simulation software. In this way, the software interface is open, and the problem of unified integration interface has been considered during the development process. This method has great limitations and is applicable to fewer simulation software; the other is to customize the development of integration interfaces for external heterogeneous simulation software. This method involves modifications at the software code level of the integration environment platform, which brings additional workload.

[0004] Therefore, in the field of dynamic integration of industrial simulation software, commercial simulation analysis software is developed independently, and the diversity of development languages leads to inconsistent interfaces, which brings great difficulties to software integration.

[0072] Implementation 11: This implementation provides an example, which is used to explain the above implementations 1 to 8. Specifically, the example is as follows:

[0073] See also Figures 1 to 2 To explain this embodiment, this embodiment proposes an integrated design method for complex large-scale industrial simulation software. The method described in this embodiment proposes a conceptual model, and analyzes and calculates software, algorithms, etc. as a component model. Commercial and self-developed software are abstracted at the data level from an application perspective, and organized into an expression that can be recognized by a computer programming language, and the expression is stored in the computer disk in the form of entity data. The integrated environment platform software can realize the loading and operation of the integrated component model by importing the entity data model.

[0074] S1. First, define a component model that includes basic information about the analytical computing software or algorithm associated with the component model: the name, version number, installation location, and a text description of the analytical computing software or algorithm. The component model description information can be represented on a computer disk as an XML-formatted component model description file, which stores the component model information using XML tagging.

[0075] S2. Define an input parameter file template for the analysis and calculation software or algorithm associated with the currently defined component model. The template defines the input parameters of the component model's configurable parameters. The input parameter file template can be customized for different analysis and calculation software or algorithms to achieve universality for different analysis and calculation software or algorithms.

[0076] S3. Variables are picked from the input parameter file template defined in S2, where the input parameter file template defined in S2 records the location information of the picked parameters. An input parameter variable table is generated using the configurable parameters in the picked input parameter file template. The variable table is represented in the computer software program as a memory data structure. The data structure is organized by grouping the picked parameters according to their types and adjusting the order of the parameters.

[0077] S4. Based on the variable table generated in S3, an input parameter setting GUI interface is generated. Through the GUI interface, input parameters can be set for specific calculation requirements of the analysis and calculation software or algorithm associated with the currently defined component model.

[0078] S5. Obtain the input parameters set by the GUI in S4, replace the corresponding parameters in the input parameter file template defined in S2, and form a component model input parameter file stored in the computer disk.

[0079] S6. Define a driving script template for the analysis and calculation software or algorithm associated with the currently defined component model. The template defines the configurable parameters in the driving script. The driving script template can be customized for different analysis and calculation software or algorithms to achieve universality for different analysis and calculation software or algorithms.

[0080] S7. Variables are picked from the driver script template defined in S6, where the location information of the picked parameters is recorded in the driver script template defined in S6. A driver script parameter variable table is generated based on the configurable parameters picked from the driver script template. The variable table is represented in the computer software program as a memory data structure. The data structure is organized by grouping the picked parameters according to their types and adjusting the order of the parameters.

[0081] S8. Generate a drive parameter setting GUI interface based on the drive parameter variable table generated in S7. Through the GUI interface, drive parameters can be set according to the specific operating requirements of the analysis and calculation software or algorithm associated with the currently defined component model.

[0082] S9. Obtain the driving parameters set by the GUI in S8, and replace the corresponding parameters in the driving script template defined in S7 to form a component model driving script file stored in the computer disk.

[0083] S10. Generate a component model description file using the component model definition file generated in S1, the input parameter file generated in S4, and the driver script file generated in S8, in accordance with predefined semantic and grammatical rules. This description file uses XML markup language and is an XML document that describes and defines the component in detail. This document can define the component's version, name, installation location, and description text. It can also define the parameters and values supported by the component, the component's driver script, the component's ports, and so on.

[0084] Repeating the process from S1 to S10 can achieve the definition and integration of different component models.

[0085] The component model definition and integration process is completed through S1 to S10, ultimately generating a component model description file. This, along with the input parameter file template and the driver script template, forms the component model entity data. This entity data is imported into the integrated environment platform software GUI as a folder. The GUI organizes and manages all files uniformly, placing them into a local component model library. Finally, when the integrated environment platform software is started, the component model library contents are parsed, generating a component model that can be used within the integrated environment platform software, completing the entire component model definition and integration process.

[0086] This embodiment implements the operation of defined component models within the integrated environment platform software through S6. By abstracting the analytical calculation method or algorithm and forming entity data in a format recognizable by computer programming languages, the integrated environment platform software imports the component model entity data to implement the expansion, integration, and operation of the defined component model.

[0087] This implementation method defines an input parameter file template and a driving script template, and picks up variables for them to automatically generate a parameter setting GUI. This method can adapt to the differences in the number and type of parameters of different analysis and calculation software or algorithms. The input parameters and driving parameters are set through a visual interactive method through the GUI interface, without the need to directly modify the file. This is more convenient and greatly reduces the possibility of parameter setting errors.
