Integrated design methodology of a mechatronic system

Abstract

Current literature provides many studies on the mechatronic design process. However, they only focus on one level of the design V-cycle. This study deals with the entire downward side of the cycle in view to processing it globally. To achieve this, we propose a hybrid methodology based on several tools, languages and methodologies such as SADT, SysML, Modelica and CATIA Systems®. The method was validated successfully in a Modelica/Dymola framework. It is now possible to partially automate the process. © AFM, EDP Sciences 2010.
