IT'S EASY TO SAY that true mechatronics should bring mechanical engineers and their CAD software together with electrical and controls engineers and their ladder and sequential function chart software for machines. It's more difficult to make this collaboration happen in reality. To help with this, Rockwell Automation spent the past four years working with partner Dassault Systemes to combine their softwares to enable dynamic simulations that include physical forces and other closer-to-real-time data inputs.
