Intelligent Objects and Simulation Software: The Future of Simulation
Sewickley, Penn – Simio, a developer of 3D object-oriented simulation software, has released Intelligent Objects – The Future of Simulation, a white-paper detailing the importance of intelligent objects. According to the document, written by Simio Founder and CEO Dr Dennis Pegden, describes how Simio is designed to simplify model building by promoting a modeling paradigm shift from the process orientation to an object orientation.

The intelligent objects are built by modelers and then may be reused in multiple modeling projects,” said Dr. Dennis Pegden, Founder and CEO of Simio. “Although the Simio framework is focused on object-based modeling, it also supports a seamless use of multiple modeling paradigms including event, process, object, and agent-based modeling.” An object may be animated in 3D to reflect the changing state of the object. For example a forklift truck raises and lowers its lift, a robot opens and closes its gripper, and a battle tank turns its turret. The animated model provides a moving picture of the system in operation. Objects are built using the concepts of object- orientation. However unlike other object oriented simulation systems, the process of building an object is very simple and completely graphical. There is no need to write programming code to create new objects. The activity of building an object in Simio is identical to the activity of building a model -- in fact there is no difference between an object and a model. This concept is referred to as the ...
