VHPN – Software Tool for Visual Discrete-Continuous Modelling of Hybrid System using Generalized Timed Differential Petri Nets

Abstract

This paper presents the timed Generalized Differential Petri Nets (GDPN) a class of Petri nets, that are accepted the negative-continuous place capacity, negative real values for continuous place marking and negative marked-dependent arc cardinalities. A Visual Hybrid Petri Nets (VHPN) software tool that offers a graphical user interface has been developed and described for visual simulation of GDPN. The continuous transitions of the net are fired with speeds that are piecewise constants or marked-dependent variable.
