The objective of this guideline is to provide methodological support for the cross-domain development of mechatronic systems. The main aspects here are intended to be the procedures, methods and tools for the early phase of development, concentrating on system design. The result of system design is the assured concept of a mechatronic system. This is understood as meaning the solution established in principle and checked by verification and validation. Depending on the application and risk assessment, different vaidation accuracies are required: the validation of the concept may be performed on the virtual prototype, on the partly real prototype or o the completely real prototype.
