Abstract

Model building is a fundamental task in simulation-based optimization. In this paper we demonstrate the applica- tion of Sim# in combination with HeuristicLab to opti- mize set-up times of arbitrary machinery. On top of Sim#, custom simulation extensions have been imple- mented and are used to create a simulation model of real world machinery. These extensions enable the design of simulation components that can be reused within differ- ent simulation models. This allows to easily create mul- tiple model implementations that reflect different designs of a machine by using a combination of already existing and adapted components. The resulting model is used as evaluation function for the optimization inside HeuristicLab.
