Abstract:

A design is considered satisfactory only if all the specification requirements are met. For complex systems, the high number of requirements prevents experts from collecting and knowing them entirely at the very beginning of the development, which can risks the non-satisfaction of the final design to some of them. This problem has always been the crucial concern of the manufacturing industry. The close collaboration between different engineering domains allows the discovery of interactions between components, thus revealing the different requirements to be met from the design stage. Unfortunately, the communication that promotes this collaboration still limited by the fact that the multidisciplinary actors use different tools and languages. This paper focuses on the collaborative work that brings together the System Engineer (SE), who approaches the system in a holistic way, and the designer, who specializes in detailed design. A new methodology has been proposed that solves not only the problem of data exchange between the two domains of Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) and Computer-Aided Design (CAD) but also helps to identify various errors and inconsistencies in the design, in order to correct them and generate a satisfactory solution. This methodology focuses on the product development cycle from the analysis of needs up to the design validation phase. Based on a case study of a pedal bicycle, which is an industrial mechatronic product, the proposed methodology will be illustrated to be validated and highlight its advantages and limitations.
