Abstract
Virtual Prototyping is a promising approach for testing innovative ideas or assessing man-machine interactions in early stages of machine design. But due to the high cost level of present approaches, virtual prototyping does not exploit its full potential. This paper presents a multi-level approach for systematic reuse of existing simulation models in different business cases. The approach bases on theoretical reflections on conceptual modeling and on a requirements analysis among manufacturers of mobile construction machines. The resulting method is evaluated by a prototypic implementation.
