Provided is a method for checking system requirements of cyber-physical systems in a composite system, including creating a digital twin for at least one cyber-physical in each case; stipulating system requirements for each of the cyber-physical systems; storing the system requirements of the cyber-physical systems directly and/or indirectly in those digital twins which are each assigned to the cyber-physical system; and linking at least two or more digital twins The linked digital twins each communicate in pairs with one another and at least partially interchange their system requirements with each other; the digital twins compare the stored system requirements with the received system requirements; the digital twins adapt their system requirements on the basis of the comparison carried out with the received system requirements and can stipulate these as a new system requirement; and the digital twins communicate their newly stipulated system requirements to the other digital twins.

System and method for checking system requirements of cyber-physical systems

A method for generating workflows for product development or for the design or the operation of industrial systems, wherein the workflow comprises activities, inputs, outputs, attributes, and time dependencies for the activities, wherein the method comprises providing software objects representing parts, functions and/or artifacts of the product or the industrial systems, assembling the software objects by interconnecting them via the interfaces to design a product or an industrial system, generating the workflow for product development or for the design or operation of an industrial system based on the workflow information.

Workflow centered mechatronic objects

A method for computer assisted planning of a technical system with a first structure of multi-category objects is provided. Each multi-category object describes a technical component and includes a plurality of facets. Each facet is of a specific category and refers to information about the technical component. Categories of a multi-category object refer to different disciplines for designing a technical system. The disciplines include mechanical, electrical and automation engineering. Further, a second structure of a specific category is provided and has category-specific elements. Each category-specific element describes a technical component with respect to the corresponding specific category. Each facet of a specific category of a multi-category object describing a technical component in the first structure is related to a category-specific element of the specific category describing the technical component in the second structure. The first and second structures are changeable by a user during planning of the technical system.
