A Case Study of the Link between Virtual and Physical Prototyping in Servo-Pneumatic System

Abstract:

This paper presents a link between virtual and physical prototyping which was applied to the servo-pneumatic system. The development began with the study and design. Next, virtual prototyping, this stage is the integration of aided design, programming design, and simulation design to demonstration the functionality of the virtual servo-pneumatic prototype in a computer environment. After that, the virtual prototype which is verified and optimized to be used a physical prototyping. Finally, links the two together, this link represents be a human-machine interface system. The experimental results were satisfactory. Thus, may be said that this is both to enhance of the performance and efficiency of prototyping in current mechatronics system.
