An integrated computational support for design of system architecture and service

System architecting of mechatronic systems is to develop system decomposition and to define specifications of subsystems and interfaces. This study integrates a CAD for system architecting with a service CAD and life cycle simulation to model and reason about systems architecture and maintenance-related services as well as monetary flows between the manufacturer and user of systems in a life cycle. Such an integrated computational support promotes engineering design of life cycles and services in practice and useful to leverage mechatronics systems as service channels of product-service systems.
