天文望远镜是集光学、机械和自动控制于一体的大型精密仪器。随着新型望远镜系统的复杂程度的提高和计算及计算机技术的进步，系统集成仿真技术被广泛引入望远镜的研制中来，并作为工程实施前进行早期全面模拟仿真的手段用以分析评估望远镜的工作性能和造价。简要介绍和回顾系统仿真技术在天文望远镜设计领域的发展和应用概况，着重介绍望远镜系统集成仿真技术的基本方法、工作内容以及所涉及的有关计算和计算机技术，最后探讨我国在该领域的现状和努力方向。

英文摘要：

As a large precision instrument, an astronomical telescope is an integrated multi-disciplinary system of optics, mechanics and control. With the increment of complicity of novel telescopes and with the development of information technology, system simulation method has been extensively introduced into the field of astronomical telescope design to facilitate full assessment of telescope performance and cost and further accelerates optimization process of the design. Progress of system simulation technique extending in astronomical telescope design was briefly described t~om an application point of view. Emphasis is was put on basic philosophy, method and central work as well as associated information technology of system simulation for telescope design. Before close, the current status and developing concentration of this subject in China was discussed.
