“…A similar structure of elements and diagrams is used on other abstraction levels of the system model, which results in a limitation to the functional view. Chamas and Paetzold (Chamas and Paetzold 2018) model effect chains by deriving customer functions from customer requirements. Subsequently, functional, behavioural and structural views are determined, resulting in the required information for effect-chain modeling.…”

Effect chain modeling approaches are applied to model cause-effect relations and analyze affected elements and dependencies. In this paper a systematic literature research is conducted to derive main characteristics and limitations of existing approaches. Then, the Model-based Effect Chain Analysis (MECA) method is introduced. Evaluation proves applicability of the method by means of a case example. This is done in the context of a project with a German automotive company. In the project 66 workshops were conducted to model certification-compliant effect chains in accordance to the UN ECE 156.

“…An advanced solution for the integration between graph-based languages and behavior modelling in the form of continuous mechanics was proposed by Vogel [32]; main emphasis was also on concrete geometry and advanced analyses of this geometry. An initial modelling approach for effect chains on the behavior level was proposed by Chamas and Paetzold [1].…”

“…Today, the general consensus is that the early stages of product development are essential [1][2][3]. Changes in advanced stages can be avoided through systematic and structured procedure schemes, and through the application of efficient methods and tools that aim at raising the knowledge of the system at the beginning of development to a higher level [4].…”

“…Changes in advanced stages can be avoided through systematic and structured procedure schemes, and through the application of efficient methods and tools that aim at raising the knowledge of the system at the beginning of development to a higher level [4]. However, a widely accepted methodology with computational support for these stages, which is applied in industrial practice, does not yet exist [1]. Consequently, design and control engineers are challenged with undocumented considerations and decisions, incompatible modelling languages, unclear and incomplete interfaces, redundant work, and non-value-adding data-transformation activities.…”

Approaches for Modelling the Physical Behavior of Technical Systems on the Example of Wind Turbines

Models of technical systems are an essential means in design and product-development processes. A large share of technical systems, or at least subsystems, are directly or indirectly connected with the generation or transformation of energies. In design science, elaborated modelling approaches were developed for different levels of product concretization, for instance, requirement models and function models, which support innovation and new product-development processes, as well as for energy-generating or -transforming systems. However, on one product-concretization level, the abstract level that describes the physical behavior, research is less mature, and an overview of the approaches, their respective advantages, and the connection possibilities between them and other modelling forms is difficult to achieve. This paper proposes a novel discussion structure based on modelling perspectives and digital-engineering frameworks. In this structure, current approaches are described and illustrated on the basis of an example of a technical system, a wind turbine. The approaches were compared, and their specific advantages were elaborated. It is a central conclusion that all perspectives could contribute to holistic product modelling. Consequently, combination and integration possibilities were discussed as well. Another contribution is the derivation of future research directions in this field; these were derived both from the identification of “white spots” and the most promising modelling approaches.
