Development of a building simulator with a variety of parameters
Abstract
This article exposes the methodology of implementation of a building simulator bearing factors of development in mind as the scalability of the software, its cycle of development, and the mathematical details used for the modeling of the system. This article shows a simple methodology and in addition effective for the simulation of any type of system. There are exposed of the same form the libraries of programming that were more useful for this type of development. The Simulator represents a real building with all the characteristics and variables that are interested for the case. This simulator tries to be used to prove algorithms of control for groups of elevators, the architecture of the simulator allows to connect any algorithm of control that follows the own standard of the simulator, there appear as example two algorithms of control which are connected to the simulator to prove its performance[8]. The simulator allows generating statistical reports of the performance of the used controllers; these reports are useful at the moment of verifying the efficiency of these algorithms and to compare quantitatively the functioning between them.
