Abstract
In general, mechatronic products merge solutions from different engineering disciplines and therefore a mechatronic design process must integrate multiple disciplines as well. There is a critical lack of tools supporting the inter-disciplinary aspects of the development process of mechatronic products, especially in the conceptual design phase. A general approach for the creation of mechatronic system models as well as a simulation-based design process based on system-level simulations was elaborated. Simulations on the system-level are different from those on the discipline-level. They should contribute to a better understanding of the overall system under consideration by the evaluation of system-specific (global) properties that cannot be evaluated on a discipline-specific level. In this paper a model-based approach for the reliability prediction of mechatronic systems on the system-level is presented.
