Abstract: Requirements of architect simulation-enable were analyzed which conducted the study of the completeness condition for architect execution and architecture description framework was extended. An executable architecture framework satisfied the completeness condition and its development process was proposed, and upon which simulation-enable method based on executable architecture framework was put forward. The theory of mapping and conversion from architecture products to input of simulation platform was introduced. The method provided an available approach to raise the simulation model development efficiency and keep the consistency of the high level design with simulation system. A water distribution system was taken as an example to validate the theory of architecture modeling and simulation model mapping.
