Method for analyzing a mechatronic
system, wherein the mechatronic
system has one or more functions, the functions comprising one or more hardware and / or
software functions, and in the method - a first network (20) in the form of a tree graph with several hierarchy levels and nodes (201, 202, 203, 204, 205, 206) arranged in the hierarchy levels is provided, wherein the nodes (201-206) are each representative of one of the functions of the mechatronic
system and are linked to each other via one or more logical operators, such that the tree graph represents dependencies between the functions represented by the nodes (201-206), wherein the top hierarchy level has a
single node (201) as the initial node, - a node of the tree graph of the first network (20) is specified as the first trigger node, -
Software network data is provided that is representative of the
software functions of the mechatronic system and their dependencies, - depending on the first trigger node and the
software network data, a second network (30) in the form of a tree graph with several hierarchy levels and nodes (301, 302, 303, 304, 305) arranged in the hierarchy levels is determined, wherein the nodes (301-305) are each representative of one of the software functions of the mechatronic system and are linked to each other via one or more logical operators, such that the tree graph represents dependencies between the software functions represented by the nodes (301-305), wherein the top hierarchy level has a
single node (301) as the initial node, and - depending on the first network of action (20) and the second network of action (30), the mechatronic system is analyzed, wherein an analysis of the mechatronic system includes that - the first network (20) is extended by the second network (30) such that the first trigger node of the first network (20) corresponds to the initial node of the second network (30), and - the mechatronic system is analyzed depending on the extended first network of action (40), wherein the mechatronic system has one or more diagnostic functions that are representative of one or more software functions for diagnosing the mechatronic system, in which - a node of the tree graph of the extended first network (40) is specified as the second trigger node, - one of the diagnostic functions is specified and assigned to the second trigger node, - Diagnostic
network data is provided that is representative of the diagnostic functions of the mechatronic system and their dependencies, - depending on the second trigger node and the diagnostic network data, a third network (50) is determined in the form of a tree graph with several hierarchy levels and nodes (501, 502, 503, 504, 505) arranged in the hierarchy levels, wherein the nodes (501-505) are each representative of one of the diagnostic functions of the mechatronic system and are linked to each other via one or more logical operators, such that the tree graph represents dependencies between the diagnostic functions represented by the nodes (501-505), wherein the top hierarchy level has a
single node (501) as the initial node, such that the second trigger node of the extended first network (40) corresponds to the initial node of the third network (50), and - depending on the extended first network (40) and the third network (50) the mechatronic system is analyzed.
