Simulation and Modelling of Engineering System Using Bond Graphs

Modeling and simulation form an integral role in the engineering design process. In this paper it was try to elaborate basics of bond graph and try to figure out some common system using bond graph approach. The main aim is to prepare software of some engineering system using bond graph. The system shall have the interactive graphical user interface (GUI) and shall provide library of elements which the user can choose to build the composite systems from the provided elementary systems. The software shall be tested for some known systems by comparing the simulation results with the manual simulations. Further this simulation & modeling system will be used to model a few engineering systems by varying different parameters. These systems will be chosen from the real world. The different parameters of sub systems will be altered and the composite simulation results for each such combination will be obtained, these results will then be tested against the actual system composition. Such a comparison shall validate this modeling and simulation system. The software will be basically working on drag and drop principle and it will be created in Visual Basic and database software such as MS Access.
