As manufacturing systems are being created on larger and more complicated scales than ever before, it is increasingly necessary to have opportunities to design the manufacturing system with several persons concurrently. In this case the designers often use suitable simulators for evaluating their assigned subsystems. After the subsystems are modeled and evaluated, it is necessary to integrate the subsystems as a whole system and evaluate them. In order to evaluate the complete manufacturing system, designers need to create the manufacturing system model by synchronizing several different simulators. One of the methods to synchronize simulators is a distributed simulation system. The purpose of this research is to develop a distributed simulation synchronization method including a function for managing distributed simulation clocks without the rollback function and interfaces among simulation models. In this paper, we propose a storage model concept as the method. We develop an algorithm to implement the proposed concept.
