Abstract: The model architecture of a simulation system is derived from its family’s framework, and the building approach is the first issue to be tackled to build a simulation system. Considering the experience for building model family’s framework of some typical simulation systems and the recent development of modeling technology, this paper gives a measure-centred guidable procedure for building the model family’s framework of a simulation system, summarizes its basic rules, as well as lists some key technologies and supporting tools. The approach describes step-by-step the process of framework building by two phases (eight steps). Our proposed approach has been applied in some large-scale simulation systems, which is practical to some extent.
