The use of a Mechatronic Systems Simulator in Engineering Courses

This Innovative Practice Work in Progress presents the proposal and the development of a simulator for an Evolvable Production System that aims to represent a complete mechatronic system, simulate its operation, and support the learning of associated subjects. A mechatronic system is composed of mechanical and electronic modules that in turn may be associated with a software layer that is responsible for the intelligence of the entire system....
