This book presents a computer-aided approach to the design of mechatronic systems. Its subject
is an integrated modeling and simulation in a visual computer environment. Since the first
edition the simulation software changed enormously became more user-friendly and easier to
use. Therefore a second edition became necessary taking these improvements into account.The
modeling is based on system top-down and bottom-up approach. The mathematical models are
generated in a form of differential-algebraic equations and solved using numerical and symbolic
algebra methods. The integrated approach developed is applied to mechanical electrical and
control systems multibody dynamics and continuous systems.
