Behavioral characteristic is one of the important targets in conceptual design and re-design of electromechanical products. To summarize the knowledge of behavior characteristics of electromechanical products, this paper proposed the concepts of behavioral effect, elemental behavior and behavioral chain. It made the modification to classical Petri nets, then analyzed and expressed the behavior characteristics using the modified Petri nets. Finally, a case study of an electric nail-gun was conducted to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed methodologies.
