What is mechatronics?
• Mechatronics is the concatenation of the two
words mechanics and electronics.
• Mechatronic systems are systems or products
consisting of mechanical parts and electrical
parts, often computer controlled.
• Design of mechatronic systems is the
integration of the parts.

Course overview – Model-based design
Model-based design is a mathematical and visual method of addressing
problems associated with designing complex systems.
The main steps are:
• modeling the plant or the system,
• synthesizing a controller for the plant and analyzing the system
• verification and validation.

Why model based design?
The main reason: are productivity, quality
• To gain a better understanding
• Less error-prone
• Less sensitive to changes in technology
• More cost-effective
• Up-to-date documentation
https://theconstructor.org/construction/strategic-construction-project-planning-
• Captures domain knowledge programming/16044/
• Difficult to do trial and error experiments on some things
• Difficult to compare, meaningful validation
2023-08-29
Why model-based design?
Model-based design can improve productivity, cost, and quality
...or it can make your product development miserable.
You must:
• understand, what you can do with models to successfully
adopt model-based design
• know the limitations of your model
… as the design and quality of models depend on this!

Aim
Modeling, control design and simulation are important tools supporting engineers in the
development of mobility systems, from early study of system concepts to optimization of
system performance. The course aims to provide a theoretical basis for model-based
design for mobility engineering. The course will cover
mathematical modeling from basic physical laws and
to use the developed models in design processes with
specific focus on mobility applications.
