Emulation modelling
Emulica offers a small set of systemic-inspired generic constructs, that enable the modelling of complex system.
Because of the emulation approach (i.e. only the physical system is represented, control functions are separated), the modelling is simple and efficient
In emulica, each emulation construct is represented graphically. This graphical model is animated during execution.
Control editing
Control code is written in python, with extensive use of the generators (yield statements), that enable easy synchronisation with external events.
Graphical edition of control code with syntax highlighting, using gtksourceview2
Code snippets for common tasks, and automated generation of declaration function.
Code validation
Simulation
When executing an emulation model, emulica try to create a virtual shop-floor to measure the performance of the control system.
Execution can be done in real-time or in dicrete-event mode
Emulica has the ability to be interfaced with a remote control system that need to be tested.
The emulica framework is able to take control functions, to help in the first stage of control design
Results generation
Several reports types are availables:
- Gantt charts for products
- Gantt charts to represent products life-cycle
- holder ocuupation
Results can be saved: this include charts (saved as pdf, eps, png, jpg or svg images), key simulation indicators (as text) or raw simulation traces (as csv).
