• Mechatronic Systems consist of solutions from various engineering disciplines  

• a mechatronic design process must integrate various disciplines  

• rising complexity of products and design processes  

• keep track of dependencies between disciplines and (sub-) systems  

• different CAx tools are utilized in those disciplines
