Abstract
A device for the simulation of spinning machines with a view to their optimum economic use and operation. Starting from material properties of a preproduct (1) determined by measurement, as well as from configuration and setting parameters (3) of such a spinning machine, material properties (2) of the intermediate or output products which are being produced, which properties can be determined by measurement, are predicted using a process model describing the behavior of the spinning machine, by a simulation device. The process model on which a method being based is presented by a neural network. The coefficients determining the actual behavior of this neural network area calculated from a set of sample data in a training phase. This sample data and/or from otherwise conclusively predicted properties of the behavior of such a spinning machine.
