Tools for the development of a design methodology for mechatronic systems

Over the last few years, systems have become a combination of multiple disciplines, such as mechanical, electrical, electronics and software engineering. A great number of methods have been introduced to face the increasing complexity of mechatronic systems but all show difficulties on integrating the various methodologies and competences of the single disciplines. For this reason, we are going to propose a brand-new design methodology and we have started here from the identification of some fundamental tools.
