Mechatronics in a New Context: a Structuring Conceptual Framework Proposal for MBSE

Technological advances are reshaping the world in which we live by enabling the design of systems that are increasingly sophisticated, fast, precise and that assist the human being in all aspects. However, the design of these systems is becoming more and more challenging as they integrate a large number of disciplines that interact synergistically. Current design approaches are therefore reaching their limits and need to be adapted. For this purpose, we propose a conceptual framework to structure current systems. This framework will be the basis for a new design approach that is currently being developed of which we briefly present some broad outlines. An insulin pump system is also used to illustrate the proposed work.
