In conventional design approach using ECAD and MCAD authoring tools, electro-mechanical product are designed with many separate rework iterations in each tool. When the design is independently finished in each tool, the process continues to the common design phase where the MCAD and ECAD designers collaborate to produce the final electro-mechanical product. The mechatronic approach is quite different since there are no separate design phases in each of the authoring tools, instead there are many common rework iterations with no distinct boundaries between electrical and mechanical design. The nature of common rework iterations implies that real mechatronic collaboration must be integrated into the CAD tools to enable engineers to work across boundaries of their working domain. MECODES is introducing a new methodology for multidomain collaboration during the design of electromechanical products.
