Abstract :
The complexity of mechatronic systems increases continuously. The need of simulation to evaluate these systems in an early design stage is an evident fact. This paper presents a new approach for simulation of heterogeneous mechatronic systems. The aim of the development was to combine openness and flexibility with a high simulation speed and accuracy. Additionally to the description of algorithms and methods, the implementation and an example application are discussed
