An Interactive Simulation Model for Multiparameter Optimization of Cutting Processes in FMS

A multiparameter optimization model of cutting processes for a FMS production planning is presented. The model relies on a suitably designed technological database and a generation method with operation level optimization being the prime consideration. Technological knowledge and main machinability functions dependences are partly built into the logical database organization and data access paths. Model’ s output is the optimal technological parameters combination as well as tools assortment and quantity which satisfy the initially defined manufacturing conditions.
