            Abstract : 
This paper is about a new electro-mechanical modeling paradigm based on hardware description languages which paves the way to mechatronical HW/SW-Cosimulation. The strategy is illustrated by an example from automotive system design: a processor-controlled wheel suspension following BMW´s electronic damper control. Its suitability in function and performance is shown by system simulation
