A systematics of modelling mechatronic systems Original Research Article

Mechatronic systems consist of components from different technical disciplines. They require an integrated design of all components. This leads to systems of high complexity, with the mechanical and informational components at the centre. The modelling systematics presented here allows an easy and flexible exchange of any desired subsystems on the basis of their dynamical equations. This way of modelling considerably facilitates analysis and synthesis of complex systems and supports distributed digital simulation oriented according to the physical structure.
