Develop and validate a formal, symmetry-based framework for behavioral inheritance to scale cyber-physical manufacturing simulations without proportional engineering overhead.
Formalized structural, functional, and temporal symmetries to derive a four-condition behavioral inheritance protocol implemented in Siemens NX Mechatronic Concept Designer (NX 2506).
Constructed a co-simulation environment integrating a Create MyVirtual Machine Software-in-the-Loop controller, a Simit Model-in-the-Loop layer, and Mechatronic Concept Designer for emulation.
Tested the framework on a production cell comprising 10 conveyor sections, nine 5-axis CNC machining centers, and two 7-axis robotic manipulators.
Reduced CNC machining center behavioral configuration effort by 88.9%, moving from nine independent setups to a single template instantiated nine times.
Reduced robot behavioral configuration effort by 100% by inheriting both 7-axis manipulators from a single library entry while preserving kinematic and signal fidelity.
Demonstrated robust tolerance to heterogeneous kinematic substitution, enabling equivalent 6-axis manipulator replacements without behavioral reconfiguration.
