Abstract: Systems and a method for simulating an industrial system comprising main and side processes; where side objects result from the processing of the main processes. Main simulation components and side simulation components are provided. A virtual object layer comprising a virtual main object and a virtual side object representing the real objects processed by main and side processes respectively are defined. Virtual objects communicate with each other via object interface modules. The virtual objects have a component interface module for communication with a simulation component. A side controller is defined for grouping side simulation components into a functional group. The industrial system is simulated by putting in communication a simulation component and a side simulation component through the virtual object layer and by putting in communication a side controller with a simulation component.
