Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of industrial simulation technology, and in particular, to an application system, a server, and a method for online industrial simulation. Background Art

[0002] In industrial simulation, the behavior of industrial systems is usually simulated and analyzed through industrial simulation software to help engineers and researchers predict and control the performance of industrial systems.

[0003] However, in the prior art, most industrial simulations use single-point operation for the application of simulation software. Specifically, in industrial simulation, simulation data is manually placed under the simulation software directory, and then the simulation software is started for simulation operations. Finally, the simulation results of the simulation software are viewed under the corresponding directory of the simulation software.

[0004] This single-point operation method results in a high demand for the operation server of the simulation software, requiring more high-performance servers for simulation work, resulting in high simulation costs; moreover, the single-point operation method requires excessive manual participation in pre- and post-processing of the simulation, and cannot achieve fully automated online execution of the simulation.

[0059] Embodiment 1

[0060] Figure 1 It is a schematic structural diagram of an application system of online industrial simulation provided according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to the situation of industrial performance simulation of products through a variety of industrial simulation software. As Figure 1 shown, the application system of the online industrial simulation includes: a first server 100 and at least one second server 200; Figure 1Take a second server as an example. Among them, the first server 100 includes an industrial simulation trigger module 110, a simulation type library 120, an industrial simulation parameter configuration module 130, and a simulation result display module 140; the second server 200 includes industrial simulation software.

[0061] Industrial simulation can predict the performance of industrial products by simulating the behavior of industrial systems. For example, through industrial simulation, performance prediction of mechanical systems, electrical systems, fluid systems, etc. can be carried out. Specifically, industrial simulation can perform performance evaluation and prediction such as descriptive statistics, inferential statistics, regression analysis, and time series analysis on industrial systems through the mathematical models and algorithms provided by industrial simulation software.

[0062] The application system of online industrial simulation provided by the embodiments of the present invention can realize online configurable industrial simulation, improve the business management ability of industrial simulation, and reduce the simulation cost. Figure 2 It is a business flow chart of an application system of online industrial simulation provided by Embodiment 1 of the present invention. As Figure 2 shown, in the embodiments of the present invention, the following process flow can be realized through the application system of online industrial simulation: simulation task initiation, simulation type selection, industrial simulation parameter maintenance, simulation operation, simulation result preview, simulation result approval, and simulation task archiving. Among them, as Figure 2 shown, the process configuration can be realized through a business process modeling tool. When performing process configuration, configuration methods such as custom fields and drag-and-drop are supported. For example, customization of text boxes, time boxes, number boxes, etc. or customization of front-end user interface (UI) components is supported in the process configuration.

[0063] Specifically, when implementing the process as Figure 2 shown, the industrial simulation trigger module in the embodiments of the present invention is used to receive an industrial simulation trigger instruction and select a target simulation type from the simulation type library according to the industrial simulation trigger instruction.

[0064] Among them, the industrial simulation trigger instruction can be initiated by a user. Or, the industrial simulation trigger instruction can be initiated by the first server through analyzing the bill of materials of the maintained product and determining that industrial simulation is required.

[0065] A variety of simulation types are maintained in the simulation type library. The simulation types can correspond to the industrial simulation software configured in the second server, indicating which performance simulations the second server can support. An industrial simulation software can support one or more simulation types. The simulation types supported by different industrial simulation software can be the same or different. The simulation types include, but are not limited to, simulation models in the fields of physics, chemistry, biology, etc. Different simulation models can be classified and stored in the simulation types, and metadata descriptions are provided to facilitate matching the target simulation type according to the industrial simulation trigger instruction. The simulation types in the simulation type library can be updated and maintained to ensure their accuracy, reliability, and version timeliness.

[0066] Exemplarily, the simulation types maintained in the simulation type library include, but are not limited to: modal analysis, strength analysis, test stress fatigue life calculation, static fatigue life simulation, topology optimization simulation, morphology optimization simulation, discrete element analysis, vibration analysis, and heat dissipation calculation. For example, industrial simulations can be performed on the walking frame, slewing platform, bucket, etc. under the target simulation type.

[0067] In the embodiment of the present invention, the industrial simulation trigger module can analyze the industrial simulation trigger instruction to determine the product to be simulated and the performance to be simulated; and select the corresponding target simulation type in the simulation type library according to the product to be simulated and the performance to be simulated.

[0068] The industrial simulation parameter configuration module is used to generate corresponding target industrial simulation parameters according to the target simulation type, and update and configure the target industrial simulation parameters in response to the user's parameter update instruction.

[0069] For each simulation type maintained in the simulation type library, industrial simulation parameters can be maintained. When determining the target simulation type, the industrial simulation parameter configuration module can directly call the corresponding industrial simulation parameters according to the target simulation type. In addition, a customized parameter design interface can be maintained in the industrial simulation parameter configuration module to support manual maintenance and batch import of industrial simulation parameters by the user. The industrial simulation parameter configuration module can update and configure the target industrial simulation parameters in response to the user's parameter update instruction in the customized parameter design interface. For the configured target industrial simulation parameters, they can be persistently stored under the target simulation type to facilitate the user to consult the simulation tasks and perform repeated calculations.

[0070] After configuring and generating the target industrial simulation parameters, the industrial simulation parameter configuration module can transmit the target industrial simulation parameters to the second server. The second server is used to receive the target industrial simulation parameters configured by the industrial simulation parameter configuration module and perform simulation operations through the industrial simulation software to obtain the simulation results.

[0071] Among them, the second server may include one or more industrial simulation software. The second server can determine the adapted industrial simulation software according to the target industrial simulation parameters, and use the industrial simulation software to perform simulation operations under the target industrial simulation parameters to obtain simulation results.

[0072] When presenting the obtained simulation results, the results can be presented through the industrial simulation software in the second server. However, presenting the results through the second server requires additional resources of the second server. In the embodiments of the present invention, a simulation result display module can be set in the first server. The simulation result display module is used to receive the simulation results transmitted by the second server and display the simulation results on the first server. By previewing the simulation results in the first server, it is convenient for users to view the simulation results without logging in to the industrial simulation software.

[0073] Displaying the simulation results on the first server allows users to perform online data approval on the simulation results. When the simulation results do not meet the requirements, the industrial simulation parameter configuration module can be returned to reconfigure the target industrial simulation parameters in response to the user's instruction, and the simulation operation can be performed again. The simulation results corresponding to the target industrial simulation parameters can also be persistently stored, which is convenient for processing such as approval and archiving of simulation tasks.

[0074] When performing persistent storage, non-file data can be stored in the database of the first server, and file data can be stored in the file server corresponding to the first server, ensuring the complete storage of data and ensuring that the performance of the first server is not affected when storing a large amount of data.

[0075] In the embodiments of the present invention, the performance and cost of the first server can be lower than those of the second server. By performing the pre-processing (industrial simulation trigger, simulation type determination, and simulation parameter configuration) and post-processing (simulation result display) of industrial simulation through the first server, and performing industrial simulation operations through the second server, it is possible to achieve the automated transfer of simulation data and files in industrial simulation without manual intervention; the automated execution of simulation operations without manual invocation of industrial simulation software; the automated return of simulation results without manual logging in to the industrial simulation software to view the results; that is, by having the first server bear the pre-processing and post-processing of industrial simulation, manual processing can be reduced, and fully automated online processing of industrial simulation can be achieved. Moreover, by having the first server bear the pre-processing and post-processing of industrial simulation and performing industrial simulation operations through the second server, the low-cost first server can undertake part of the simulation process, reducing the simulation process on the high-cost second server, enabling the second server to focus on industrial simulation operations, so that the second server can carry more simulation tasks and reduce the cost of the entire simulation work.

[0076] Embodiment 2

[0077] Figure 3 It is a schematic structural diagram of an application system for online industrial simulation provided by Embodiment 2 of the present invention. This embodiment further refines the above technical solution, and the technical solution in this embodiment can be combined with each optional solution in one or more of the above embodiments. As Figure 3 shown, the application system for online industrial simulation includes: a first server 100 and at least one second server 200; Figure 3 Here, one second server is taken as an example. Among them, the first server 100 includes an industrial simulation trigger module 110, a simulation type library 120, an industrial simulation parameter configuration module 130, and a simulation result display module 140; the second server 200 includes industrial simulation software.

[0078] Specifically, the industrial simulation trigger module is used to receive an industrial simulation trigger instruction and select a target simulation type in the simulation type library according to the industrial simulation trigger instruction; the industrial simulation parameter configuration module is used to generate corresponding target industrial simulation parameters according to the target simulation type and update and configure the target industrial simulation parameters in response to a user's parameter update instruction; the second server is used to receive the target industrial simulation parameters configured by the industrial simulation parameter configuration module and perform simulation operations through the industrial simulation software to obtain a simulation result; the simulation result display module is used to receive the simulation result transmitted by the second server and display the simulation result on the first server.

[0079] On the basis of the above implementation manner, optionally, the first server is further used to: determine a corresponding target simulation model file according to the target simulation type; generate a pre-simulation processing file according to the target simulation model file, the target industrial simulation parameters, the target simulation type, and user input simulation data; and transmit the pre-simulation processing file to the second server for simulation operations.

[0080] Among them, the simulation model file may be a model file required for pre-processing simulation data in industrial simulation. For example, the simulation model file may be a plug-in required for data pre-processing. Exemplarily, visualization processing such as graphics, tables, and 3D models can be performed through the plug-in. The user input simulation data may be specific requirements for the simulation, such as boundary conditions and initial conditions. By matching simulation model files to each simulation type in the simulation type library, the first server can combine the target industrial simulation parameters and the user input simulation data to generate a pre-simulation processing file under the target simulation type in the data processing manner corresponding to the model file, realizing automated pre-simulation processing, eliminating the need for users to perform pre-simulation processing, reducing the user's simulation workload, and improving the simulation efficiency.

[0081] When generating the simulation pre - processing file, data can be displayed in the graphical interface of the first server. Users can also input simulation data in the graphical interface. In addition, the graphical interface of the first server also supports users to import the simulation pre - processing file.

[0082] The simulation pre - processing file generated by the first server can be transmitted to the second server through the industrial simulation parameter configuration module. Optionally, the second server is further configured to: obtain the corresponding simulation pre - processing file according to the target industrial simulation parameters; generate a simulation task according to the simulation pre - processing file, and add the simulation task to the task queue; perform a cut - in process on the target simulation task according to the priority of the simulation task and the resource occupancy information of each second server; perform a task abort process on the currently executing simulation task according to the execution information of the currently executing simulation task in the second server.

[0083] Among them, when the second server receives the target industrial simulation parameters, it can obtain the simulation pre - processing file from the first server correspondingly. When performing simulation operations according to the simulation pre - processing file, the second server can first generate a simulation task and maintain multiple simulation tasks in the second server through the task queue. Figure 4 It is a schematic diagram of the functional structure of a second server according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention. As Figure 4 shown, the second server can perform queue monitoring on the task queue therein, and perform task abort processing, task cut - in processing, and task execution statistics through queue monitoring. The queue monitoring of the task queue includes, but is not limited to: monitoring the simulation duration, execution error information, resource occupancy information during task execution, and task information of each simulation task in the task queue, etc.

[0084] For an urgent target simulation task with a higher priority, a cut - in process can be performed. For example, the target simulation task is cut in front of other simulation tasks with a lower priority than it. In the embodiment of the present invention, there can be multiple second servers. To ensure that the urgent target simulation task with a higher priority can be processed in a timely manner, according to the resource occupancy information of the second server, the target simulation task can be assigned to a more suitable second server for cut - in processing. Exemplarily, when the resource occupancy of the second server 1 is smaller than that of the second server 2, the target simulation task can be cut in to the second server 1.

[0085] When the execution information of the currently executing simulation task is an infinite loop, an execution error, or the execution time exceeds the preset time length, the currently executing simulation task can be aborted to prevent an abnormal simulation task from continuously occupying the second server and making efficient simulation impossible. When aborting the task, the second server can send information indicating that the simulation task has failed and been returned to the first server. When the simulation task is aborted, the first server can return the simulation task to the industrial simulation parameter configuration module, reconfigure the target industrial simulation parameters, and perform the simulation task again to effectively complete the simulation task.

[0086] In an alternative embodiment of the present invention, the second server is further configured to: count the simulation operation time of each simulation task under each simulation type and determine the reference execution time for the corresponding simulation type based on the simulation operation times; determine the comprehensive execution time for each simulation task in the task queue based on the reference execution times for each simulation type; the first server is further configured to obtain the comprehensive execution time and resource occupancy information transmitted by each second server, evaluate each second server based on the comprehensive execution time and resource occupancy information to obtain a target second server; and transmit the configured target industrial simulation parameters to the target second server through the industrial simulation parameter configuration module.

[0087] The reference execution time may be the expected time when the simulation task of the corresponding simulation type is completed. Exemplarily, the reference execution time may be the weighted calculation result of the simulation operation times of each simulation task under the corresponding simulation type. The weight of the simulation operation time may be related to the simulation object. For example, for parts with a lower simulation frequency, a smaller weight may be set; for parts with a higher simulation frequency, a larger weight may be set.

[0088] In the task queue, the number of simulation tasks of each simulation type can be counted, and combined with the reference execution time, the comprehensive execution time can be obtained. For example, the sum of the products of the reference execution times of each simulation type and the corresponding number of simulation tasks can be used to obtain the comprehensive execution time. A second server with a lower comprehensive execution time is more likely to receive new simulation tasks. A second server with lower resource occupancy is more likely to receive new simulation tasks. Therefore, when the first server allocates simulation tasks to the second servers, it can comprehensively consider the comprehensive execution time and resource occupancy information, evaluate the performance of the second servers, select the target second server, and allocate the simulation tasks to the target second server.

[0089] The evaluation of the second server is to perform normalization processing on the comprehensive execution time and resource occupancy information respectively, and then perform weighted processing on the normalization results of the comprehensive execution time and resource occupancy information to obtain the evaluation result of the second server.

[0090] When the first server receives the comprehensive execution time and resource occupancy information, the first server can also view the progress of the simulation task in real time through the monitoring interface. For example, the task execution status, execution time, resource occupancy information, etc. Thus, it can support the administrator to perform task abort, pause, priority adjustment, and stack-out control of the simulation task, etc. on the monitoring interface, ensuring the good performance of industrial simulation.

[0091] After obtaining the simulation result through the simulation operation by the second server, the second server can notify the simulation result display module to display the simulation result by means of email notification or the like. Optionally, the simulation result display module is specifically used for: determining a target parsing algorithm according to the target simulation type, using the target parsing algorithm to parse the simulation result to obtain visual chart data, and displaying the visual chart data on the first server.

[0092] Among them, under different simulation types, the forms of the obtained simulation results may be different. For example, the forms of the simulation results include but are not limited to: data, 3D models, graphics, and curves, etc. Different parsing algorithms can be used to parse the simulation results of different result forms to obtain visual chart data, so as to display the simulation results on the first server and facilitate users to understand the simulation results.

[0093] Specifically, when the simulation result corresponding to the target simulation type is data, a parsing algorithm of script operation can be used to process the data to obtain visual chart data. When the simulation result corresponding to the target simulation type is a 3D model, graphics, or curve, the 3D model parsing plug-in, graphics parsing plug-in, and curve parsing plug-in maintained in the first server can be called respectively to parse the simulation result to obtain visual chart data.

[0094] Based on the above embodiments, optionally, the simulation result display module is further used for: when the result display corresponding to the target simulation type is a 3D model, converting the simulation result into a result to be adjusted in a first target format; extracting the coordinate information of the 3D model in the result to be adjusted, and performing a reduction process on the coordinate information in the result to be adjusted at a preset ratio to obtain a reduced result; encapsulating the reduced result in a second target format and displaying the encapsulated result on the first server.

[0095] Among them, the display of 3D models usually has a large load. To ensure that the simulation results of 3D models can be viewed in real time online on the first server, the simulation results can be lightweight processed. Specifically, the simulation results are converted into a to-be-adjusted result in a first target format recognizable by the backend of the first server. The coordinate information in the to-be-adjusted result, such as the X, Y, and Z axis coordinate data of the 3D model, is scaled down proportionally. Then, the to-be-adjusted result after the scaling-down process is repackaged into a second target format file that can be displayed by the frontend of the first server, so as to display the packaging result on the first server. By lightweight processing the simulation results of 3D models, it can be ensured that the simulation results can be displayed on the first server without the need to download or install additional software (such as industrial simulation software), improving the convenience and accessibility of viewing simulation results.

[0096] Based on the above implementation manner, optionally, the first server is further configured to: obtain the bill of materials of the product and identify the parts to be simulated in the bill of materials; determine the associated simulation type associated with the parts to be simulated in the simulation type library according to the parameter information of the parts to be simulated; when receiving the industrial simulation trigger instruction of the parts to be simulated, use the associated simulation type as the target simulation type and perform simulation operations through the industrial simulation parameter configuration module and the second server.

[0097] Among them, the bill of materials (BOM) of the product records the composition of the product, such as which parts the product includes. In the BOM list, some parts do not need to be simulated, such as some conventional parts that have been simulated multiple times; there are also some parts that need to be simulated, such as newly emerged parts. The first server can identify the parts to be simulated according to the part information in the BOM, such as name, identification information, and version number, etc.

[0098] The first server can classify the parameter information of the parts to be simulated to determine the associated simulation type associated with the parts to be simulated. Or, the administrator can establish a preset mapping table between the parts to be simulated and the simulation types to count the simulation capabilities of the application systems for online industrial simulation. The first server determines the associated simulation type according to the parameter information of the parts to be simulated and the preset mapping table. When the first server prompts that there are parts to be simulated, the user can issue an industrial simulation trigger instruction for the parts to be simulated. Thus, the first server can perform the simulation process under the associated simulation type according to the industrial simulation trigger instruction of the parts to be simulated.

[0099] Specifically, the first server may use the associated simulation type as the target simulation type. The industrial simulation parameter configuration module generates corresponding target industrial simulation parameters according to the target simulation type, and updates and configures the target industrial simulation parameters in response to the user's parameter update instruction. The second server is used to receive the target industrial simulation parameters configured by the industrial simulation parameter configuration module and perform simulation operations through industrial simulation software to obtain simulation results.
