In recent years, paradigms like production quality or zero-defect manufacturing have emerged, highlighting the need to improve quality and reduce waste in manufacturing systems. Although quality can be analyzed from various points of view during different stages of a manufacturing system’s lifecycle, this research focuses on a multidomain simulation model definition oriented toward the analysis of productivity and geometric quality during early design stages. To avoid inconsistencies, the authors explored the definition of descriptive models using system modeling language (SysML) profiles that capture domain-specific semantics defining object constraint language (OCL) rules, facilitating the assurance of model completeness and consistency regarding this specific knowledge. This paper presents a SysML profile for the simulation of geometric deviation propagation in multistage manufacturing systems (SysML4GDPSim), containing the concepts for the analysis of two data flows: (a) coupled discrete behavior simulation characteristic of manufacturing systems defined using discrete events simulation (DEVS) formalism; and (b) geometric deviation propagation through the system based on the geometrical modeling of artifacts using concepts from the topologically and technologically related surfaces (TTRS) theory. Consistency checking for this type of multidomain simulation model and the adoption of TTRS for the mathematical analysis of geometric deviations are the main contributions of this work, oriented towards facilitating the collaboration between design and analysis experts in the manufacturing domain. Finally, a case study shows the application of the proposed profile for the simulation model of an assembling line, including the model’s transformation to Modelica and some experimental results of this type of analysis.

“…In order to narrow this gap, [6] proposes a definition for workflows to connect simulation and design models; a similar solution is proposed in [7], where workflows are used to facilitate collaboration between system architects and analysis experts. Other work lines are explored in [8], where the use of descriptive models to support the design of simulation models is explored to solve some of the deficiencies that most languages and simulation tools present.…”

SYSML4TA: A SysML Profile for Consistent Tolerance Analysis in a Manufacturing System Case Application

et al. 2023

Tolerance analysis is a key engineering task that is usually supported by domain-specific analysis models and tools that are generally not connected to the system functionality. The model-based system engineering (MBSE) approach is a potential solution to this limitation, but it has not yet been deeply explored in this type of mechanical analysis, for which some problems need to be explored. One of these issues is the capacity of languages such as SysML to describe solution principles based on active surfaces that participate in functionality and are present for tolerance analysis. Thus, this study explored the possibilities that enable SysML to represent these geometries and their mathematical relationships based on Topologically and Technologically Related Surfaces (TTRS) theory and aligned with Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) standards. Additionally, the capacity of SysML to assure the consistency of tolerance analysis models is also explored, due to the limitations identified in analysis languages like Modelica. In this context, this paper presents a SysML profile for tolerance analysis modeling (SysML4TA), containing domain-specific semantics (concepts and constraints) to assure the completeness of the analysis models and consistency between the different models considered in the integrated model of the system. Finally, a case study applied to a manufacturing context is presented to validate the capacity of SysML to solve the identified problems.
