Abstract:
Mechatronic products with their diversity of cooperating technologies set new demands on effective information management. A key enabler for product data representation is the presence of information models that captures the phenomena of mechatronic design. This work proposes the introduction of transformational-based behaviour concepts in information models supporting implementation of PDM systems. An incorporation of this dimension clarifies the functional relation between different technical solutions such as hardware and software, thus facilitating coordination of different design tasks in an information management perspective. A phenomenon model for the mechatronic product is introduced and formalised into an information model.
