SysML geometrical profile for integration of mechatronic systems

Compactness is becoming a driving force in today´s mechatronic systems. However geometrical integration usually happens too late in the design cycle of these systems, to be optimum. In this paper, we proposed to integrate geometrical specifications in the early design during the emergence of physical architecture in SysML, through a geometrical profile. This adding information could be used to compare geometrical metrics on different possible architectures or to specify geometrical constraints for relative positioning of components.
