Integrated tool-based approach for the conceptual design of advanced mechatronic systems

Abstract

This contribution addresses a new approach for the domain-spanning system specification for the design of advanced mechatronic systems. Therefore two basic methods will be introduced: a language for the holistic specification of advanced mechatronic systems and a concept for the reuse of once successfully proven solutions in form of solution patterns. For both methods software tools have been developed. Moreover, a concept for the integrated tool support for the conceptual design of advanced mechatronic systems based on the coupling of these both methods and their respective software tools will be presented.
