Abstract: Mechatronic systems overcome the traditional borders of classical engineering disciplines. Behavioural modelling allows the developer to describe the behaviour of components and systems from arbitrary disciplines. This paper introduces a way to transform the functional models of those systems into an object-oriented description. The objects implementing this integration of behaviour and animation are called virtual objects. Ideally these objects can be recognised and handled by a user like their real world counterparts. Complex tasks like design, manufacturing etc. no longer have to be done with expensive and difficult to handle real components. 1 Introduction, state of the art of mechatronic system design The modelling of mechatronic systems and components is a very important key strategy to optimise the development and manufacturing processes of this highly sophisticated class of products. The great advantage of mechatronic products is the combination of, |
