Abstract With the increasing importance of integrating different simulation tools into concurrent design environments, the demands on model complexity and interdisciplinarity have led to a growing number of interfaces between the various tools. This paper presents examples of such interfaces for the connection between multibody simulation and computer-aided control engineering tools. The interfaces introduced in this paper are classified. The application of the different interfaces is presented in two examples. Both are dealing with control of semi-active suspensions, but different methodologies are applied.

Insight Into

Mechatronics is a field of multidisciplinary engineering that not only require knowledge about different technical areas, but also insight into how to combine technologies optimally, to design efficient products and systems. This paper addresses the group project based and problem-oriented learning approach in relation to a mechatronic education, which makes it possible for the student to get in-depth skills in the area of mechatronics very fast. The trends and applications of mechatronic engineering and research are illustrated. Control engineering plays a central role in this context, where the well established methods from control engineering form very powerful techniques in both analysis and synthesis of mechatronic systems. The necessary skills for mechatronic engineers are outlined followed up by a discussion on how problem oriented project based learning is implemented. A complete curriculum named Mechatronic Control Engineering is presented, which is started at Aalborg University, Denmark, and the content of the semesters and projects are described. The projects are all characterized by the use of simulation and control for the purpose of analyzing and designing complex commercial systems of a strongly dynamic nature.

Model Based Systems Engineering

Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) is the mainstream methodology for the design of complex mechatronic systems. It emphasizes the application of the system architecture, which highly depends on a formalized modeling language. However, such modeling language is less researched in previous studies. This paper proposes a general modeling language for representing the system architecture, aiming for representing function, physical effect, geometric information and control behavior which the system should satisfy. It facilitates the communication of designers from different technological domains and supports a series of applications such as automatic reasoning, system simulation, etc. The language is illustrated and verified with a practical mechatronic device finally.
