Introduction to preliminary design and sizing of mechatronic systems



Introduction to models and methods


Section 1 : Architectures analysis


The first step of a preliminary design is the analysis of the system and the definition of the main sizing scenarios.

Section 2 : Estimation models


This section presents the estimation models that calculate the component characteristics requested for their selection without requiring a detailed design. Linear regression of catalog datas and scaling laws are particularly suitable for this purpose.
