In order to simplify the design of mechatronic processing systems in the early stages of development, an interactive and simulation-based design methodology has been developed. The key is a physically-based simulation, derived automatically from digitized hand drawn sketches. Through this, an interactive and real time evaluation of the concepts is provided at all times during the design process. An agile process model supports the user in context of an incremental and interdisciplinary development.     «
