Abstract
This chapter gives an introduction to mechatronics as a multidisciplinary engineering field. Various architectures of a mechatronic system and its components are discussed with two common place example applications. Finally, the usefulness of modeling and simulation as a means for mechatronic system design and virtual prototyping is justified with supporting arguments. Especially, it is shown that a multi-energy domain modeling tool is needed for integrated design of mechatronic systems.
