Modeling and Simulation of Mechatronic Systems

Modern engineering relies on virtual models to predict how mechanical systems behave before a single part is ever manufactured. This course provides a clear path from understanding basic mechanical components to modeling complex mechatronic systems that integrate sensors and actuators. You will learn how to transform traditional mechanical designs into smart systems through systematic modeling and simulation techniques. By the end of this course, you will be able to describe system dynamics, evaluate performance using virtual prototyping methods, and understand the logic behind modern automated machinery. What you'll learn: - Understand the core principles of modeling mechanical and mechatronic systems - Analyze how sensors and actuators interact with mechanical structures - Model robotic systems and controlled electro-hydraulic components - Apply simulation logic to predict system behavior and improve efficiency - Explore modern industry concepts like digital twins and system-level modeling - Practice defining system parameters for accurate virtual representation The curriculum begins with essential terminology and fundamental physics before moving into detailed case studies covering robotics and smart systems. This course is designed for beginners and students of engineering who want to master the basics of virtual system design with no prior modeling experience required.
