Innovative Hybrid Modeling Approach to Enhance Green Design based on Fully Integrated Mechatronic System Simulation

摘要

Current economic and environmental constraints are pushing OEMs and system integrators to design high performance systems with tighter development time requirements. They naturally resort to simulations to avoid the time and cost of early prototyping. This establishes a new "language" of virtual machines and components that hydraulic, electrohydraulic and control component manufacturers also need to acquire to be able to market their products. This paper presents an innovative hybrid modeling methodology to aid the design and analysis through simulation of complete electrohydraulic and mechatronic systems and machines. This methodology combines modeling using physical parameters and equations, and modeling using multidimensional high-level performance curves. All of the above embedded into compatible and interchangeable gray boxes that can be used and customized according to the machine performance simulation needs.
