Abstract

To minimize the number of iterations and correction returns while designing a system, sharing crucial parameters and data between different actors is needed. Since mechatronic systems are considered complex because of their multi-disciplines, their design requires collaborative work to ensure the sharing of parameters between contributors from different domains. This paper proposes a new methodology based on the collaborative design to choose the architecture of a mechatronic system. This methodology is structured around three main phases: the pre-collaboration phase, the collaboration phase and the post-collaboration phase. The proposed methodology has been validated by applying it on a mechatronic system called Electronic Throttle Body (ETB). In order to share the different established activities and capitalize knowledge, KARREN (Knowledge Acquisition and reuse for Robust Engineering) a collaborative tool from DPS (Digital Product Simulation) a French company, is used in this project to help us to choose the appropriate architecture of the Electronic Throttle Body.
