A Research of Realistic Collaborative Simulation for Mechatronics System Design (1st Report)

Abstract

Recently, there is an increasing need for digital prototyping for efficient design and verification of the system which is composed of the mechanical, electrical and embedded software systems. In this report, a method of combining multiple simulators used in each discipline by using middleware is proposed, and its application to the electric wheel chair design is shown where the design error is hard to be found only by a simulation of one discipline.
