“…Obviously, there exist a huge number of constraints between a mechanical part of an electromechanical product and its electrical counterpart that have to be fulfilled to have a valid design configuration. As yet, such interdisciplinary constraints between models of different engineering design domains cannot be handled in a multidisciplinary Computer-Aided Engineering environment due to the lack of appropriate multidisciplinary data models [3].…”

“…As mentioned in the beginning of the section, ASN is an active DBMS that allows users to specify actions to be taken automatically when certain conditions arise. Actions initiated by an active DBMS are specified by so-called Event-Condition-Action (ECA) rules [3]. An ECA rule consists of an event (e.g.…”

Mechatronic systems encompass a wide range of disciplines and hence are collaborative in nature. Currently the collaborative development of mechatronic systems is inefficient and error-prone because contemporary design environments do not allow sufficient information flow of design and manufacturing data across the electrical and mechanical domains. Mechatronic systems need to be designed in an integrated fashion allowing designers from both electrical and mechanical engineering domains to receive automated feedback regarding design modifications throughout the design process. Integrated design of mechatronic products can be realized through the integration of mechanical and electrical CAD systems. One approach to achieve this type of integration is through the propagation of constraints. Cross-disciplinary constraints between mechanical and electrical design domains can be classified, represented, modeled, and bi-directionally propagated in order to provide automated feedback to designers of both engineering domains. In this paper, the authors focus on constraint classification and constraint modeling and provide a case study example using a robot arm. The constraint modeling approach presented in this paper represents a blueprint for the actual implementation.

The research presented proposes an innovative approach for production systems design and modelling, which is based on a 'Working Situation' model (Hasan et al. 2003a). This approach aims to integrate all trades at the present time in the design process. The proposed model allows one to define the working situation and its characterizing elements. It also allows us to define the relative concepts to these elements. This model has been implanted in an ACCESS database. A demonstration information system, based on a product model named the Working Situation Model, has been developed in collaboration with a company that designs and produces printing lines. Our objective of this demonstration of the information system is to illustrate the utility of our model by presenting a using scenario of this model. The principle of this model is to describe exactly the conceived system by integrating the various points of view (functional, mechanical, geometrical, electric, etc.) by including references to the elements of working situation and risk (phenomena and dangerous zones (European Committee for Standardization 1993). In this scenario two essential points are highlighted. The first concerns the logical construction of this model. The second one concerns the communication improvement among the various actors of a concurrent engineering design process using the proposed methods in the model within the framework of a new design approach.
