In this work we present the design of a software system for integrated discret event and motion oriented simulation of flexible manufacturing systems, through a cooperative action between the IPK-Berlin, Germany, and the lnstituto de Automatica San Juan, Argentina. Such a computer tool represents a contribution to the design and evaluation of flexible manufacturing systems dynamics, with the particular feature of considering both discrete and continuous motion dynamics. This approach leads to a more complete and realistic evaluation of the systems concerned.
