Mechatronics engineering, also called mechatronics, is an interdisciplinary branch of engineering that focuses on the integration of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, electronic engineering and software engineering, [1] and also includes a combination of robotics, computer science, telecommunications, systems, control, automation and product engineering.
A model-based, multidisciplinary design approach is required in order to address the energy efficiency, performance and user comfort of a machine in an integrated way. The key enabling technologies can be categorized in machine components, machine design methods & tools, and machine control. A few examples are listed below per category.
Simcenter Amesim is a commercial simulation software for the modeling and analysis of multi-domain systems. It is part of systems engineering domain and falls into the mechatronic engineering field. The software package is a suite of tools used to model, analyze and predict the performance of mechatronics systems.
Model-based design (MBD) is a mathematical and visual method of addressing problems associated with designing complex control, [1] signal processing [2] and communication systems. It is used in many motion control , industrial equipment, aerospace , and automotive applications.
A common example of a mechatronics system is a CD-ROM drive. Mechanical systems open and close the drive, spin the CD and move the laser, while an optical system reads the data on the CD and converts it to bits. Integrated software controls the process and communicates the contents of the CD to the computer.
PathWave System Design (formerly SystemVue) - Electronic system-level design (Eagleware-Elanix acquisition) EM solvers: Momentum – 3D planar, frequency domain, available with the ADS, Genesys, and GoldenGate platforms; FEM Element – full 3D, frequency domain, available with the ADS and EMPro platforms
Interfacing allows bio-mechatronics devices to connect with the muscle systems and nerves of the user in order send and receive information from the device. This is a technology that is not available in ordinary orthotics and prosthetics devices. Groups at the University of Twente and University of Malaya are making drastic steps in this ...
dSPACE provides tools for developing, testing and calibrating electronic control units (ECUs) in the automotive, aerospace [5] and medical engineering industries, as well as in industrial automation [6] and mechatronics. [7]
