ABSTRACT: This paper deals with conveyor simulation techniques. The present state can represent future techniques and methods covering the computer models of transitic sys-tems. The authors work on models of conveyors with rollers. Their work leads them to the demand that, inside the off-line of simulation models of such transitic sys-tems, they have to respect on-line simulation models. The reasons of that phenomenon are presented as well as the programming technique. It is based on sophisticated use of the object-oriented programming. This article is organized as follows. After the presen-tation of transitic systems and their main features, the next two sections express the basic knowledge requested for the simulation of such systems. An implementation is then presented in the following section. Reflective simu-lation, requirements for two different models are intro-duced in next sections. A proposal for reconfiguration illustrates the use of reflective simulation in last section.
