| Abstract | The design methodologies traditionally employed to develop mechatronic products are articulated in a sequence of phases: mechanical design, choice of actuators, sensors and other devices, design of the control system. Traditional methodologies usually end with the realisation of the physical prototypes used to perform the tests that are needed to optimise the product, and to verify the effectiveness of the design solutions adopted in the previous phases. The realisation of the physical prototypes is, usually, a complex and expensive task in which design errors and non-optimal solutions, related to the design phase, cause lateness in product launch and development costs increase. The present paper describes a design methodology devoted to the development of mechatronic products supported by an integrated and interactive co-simulation. This methodology, in fact, allows designers from different domains (mechanical, electronic and software engineers) to follow a classic top-down approach in which, starting from the conceptual phase, they can check, at each milestone of the project, the functionality of the product at different stages and for different levels of detail. At the end of the design process the engineers can directly interact with the mechatronic model by using the product interface implemented in the control system. The actions of the user are processed by the electronics simulation software that dialogues with actuators, motors and sensors placed in the multi-body model inside another specific simulator. So the 3D model in the multi-body software interactively responds to the actions performed by the user. |
