Abstract
A framework has been developed for distributed simulation and design of complex systems, with particular application to complete vehicle systems. An object-oriented architecture has been adopted, enabling the use of distributed and heterogeneous computing resources, custom and commercial legacy software, and different models and optimization tools. The industry standard, Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA), is used to provide network-distribution services. To demonstrate the capabilities of the distributed design framework, this paper presents results of a study conducted to optimize the life of an MI Abrams tank road arm. This study demonstrates the reconfigurability of the design framework, as various computing resources, simulation and analysis tools, and optimization algorithms are employed.
