Complex engineering systems span mechanical, electrical, thermal, fluid, and control domains. Building models that remain reusable and physically consistent as those systems grow is a core challenge in modeling and simulation.
This webinar explores the foundations of multi-domain, acausal physical modeling and shows how engineers can build reusable components that map closely to real physical systems. Using rotational mechanical examples, the session covers connector design, potential and flow variables, conservation laws, and the composition of springs, dampers, inertias, gears, actuators, and signals into larger system models.
What You’ll Learn
How connectors form the foundation of multi-domain models
How to choose potential and flow variables across physical domains
How acausal modeling supports reusable components without fixed inputs and outputs
Why conservation laws matter when modeling physical systems
How simple components can be composed into larger, more complex models
