A physics-based simulation model
A mathematical modeling approach of optical-thermal phenomena including innovative algorithms which are integrated into the OTOM simulation package is presented for LATW/LATP. The focus is on in-line process modeling and computational efficiency together with acceptable results. Therefore, an integration of OTOM with a PLC software, TwinCat, is also presented to demonstrate the capability of the developed software (OTOM) for interacting with the operating device.
