An Approach to Model-based Parametric Design of Mechatronic Systems

Parametric reconfiguration improvement in non-iterative concurrent mechatronic design using an evolutionary-based approach

Parametric reconfiguration plays a key role in non-iterative concurrent design of mechatronic systems. This is because it allows the designer to select, among different competitive solutions, the most suitable without sacrificing sub-optimal characteristics. This paper presents a method based on an evolutionary algorithm to improve the parametric reconfiguration feature in the optimal design of...

Parametric Analysis of Automotive Mechatronic Systems

The paper presents the analysis results of the fan system using hardware/software multi-technology language VHDL-AMS (IEEE 1076.1) and SystemVision design platform. The analysis was performed in the time domain for the selected sweep values of the component parameters. The sensitivity analysis was used to vary selected, user-specified percentage of rated values .The parameters were arranged acc...

Mechatronic Design - a Port-based Approach

In this paper we consider the integrated design of a mechatronic system. After considering the different design steps it is shown that a port-based approach during all phases of the design supports a true mechatronic design philosophy. Port-based design enables use of consistent models of the system throughout the design process, multiple views in different domains and reusability of plant mode...
