Simulation of complex mechatronic systems like an automobile, involving mechanical components as well as actuators and active electronic control devices, can be accomplished by combining tools that deal with the simulation of the different subsystems. In this sense, it is often desirable to couple a multibody simulation software (for the mechanical simulation) with external numerical computing environments and block diagram simulators (for the modeling and simulation of nonmechanical components).
