Increasing efficiency through model-based development: A case study of the steer-by-wire force feedback actuator
The importance of model-based development for product development Model-based engineering (MBE) has established itself as a key technology for reducing resource consumption and costs in product development. This report uses a case study to show how significant savings can be achieved by using MBE in the development of a steer-by-wire (SbW) force feedback actuator. Challenges of traditional force feedback actuators Traditional force feedback actuators in SbW systems often use large and energy-intensive electric motors to generate the required torque. These systems are not only expensive to manufacture, but also inefficient to operate. The paper describes the model-based development of a…
