Lifecycle oriented model-based development

Abstract

Mechatronic production systems are characterized by a high complexity through the tight integration of the components of the various disciplines, combined with increasingly short life cycles. The different versions of existing systems, resulting from changes during the life cycle, pose another challenge. In order to meet these requirements, a SysML-based modelling approach is presented which enables the analysis of the interdisciplinary dependencies of the components during the development and the consideration of change influences in later life cycle phases.
