CAUSALITY PRINCIPLE In physics, the causality principle defines that Causes are prior to effects they produce. During the modeling process of mechatronic systems, causality can be managed using different methods. The Modelling-Simulating softwares handle causality differently. There are two types of modeling regarding the causality: The Causal Modeling T f 1 + Js Ω The Acausal (or Physical) Modeling: 19
Causal / Acausal VS Procedural / Declarative Causal Modeling use a Procedural Language: The model simulation will follow a predefined procedure and will fulfill the causality path of the model. Acausal Modeling use Declarative Language: All the model parameters are defined on the same way. The language specify equality and not affectation. 20

Conclusion and perspective Early Design of Mechatronics System need multi-domain software May be in the future, there will be standard like XML for interfacing software Mechatronics design need mechanical, electrical and control modeling Future will see Thermal, Integration issue and CEM include in early design Simulation are based on the solving of Causal or Acausal Modeling Optimization and Control of massive MIMO Systems will be the futures issues Thank you for your attention 36
