Abstract
INTRODUCTION : Modeling mechatronic multibody systems requires the same type of methodology as for designing and prototyping mechatronic devices: a unified and integrated engineering approach. Various formulations are currently proposed to deal with multiphysics modeling, such as linear and bond graph theories, equational approaches and co-simulation techniques (see section 2). In previous CEREM research works (ex. [1] for the case of electromechanical multibody systems), it was objectively pointed out their relative advantages and disadvantages, depending on the application to be dealt with. With this respect, the present contribution aims at showing that, for industrial mechatronic systems, a so-called ”equational” approach based on multibody dynamics formulation can be generalized to deal with strongly or weakly coupled multiphysics applications. Vehicle dynamics analyses will be presented, for which a real coupling problem was identified and thus modeled with the proposed multibody approach.
