Abstract: In a method for analyzing a mechatronic system which has one or more mechatronic components, structure data is provided. The structure data is representative of a predefined structure for a network. The structure has a plurality of layers and a respective layer is representative in each case of a technical domain of the mechatronic system. A model in the form of a multilayer network is generated depending on a multiplicity of input data relating to the mechatronic system and to the predefined structure. The multilayer network comprises a multiplicity of nodes and a plurality of connections in each case between two nodes. Each node of the plurality of nodes is assigned to one of the plurality of layers. The mechatronic system is analyzed depending on the multilayer network.

Abstract: Systems and methods for integrating system information for communication and/or electrical systems to provide a mapping for diagnostic trouble codes generated by both systems. A unified mapping is generated using design outputs for both systems. When a set of diagnostic trouble codes is generated by a system, the unified mapping is applied by a troubleshooting tool to direct maintenance personnel to a failure mode and the source of malfunction. The result may be applicable to a troubleshooting tool for a vehicle system.

Abstract: An audio device for a vehicle includes a loudspeaker system having a plurality of loudspeakers, which are arranged spatially such that they enable a three-dimensional listening experience in a vehicle interior. The audio device also includes a control unit which is coupled to the loudspeaker system and which is configured to control at least one loudspeaker of the loudspeaker system in order to reproduce a position-specific warning signal which is linked to a specific position. For reproducing the position-specific warning signal, the control unit controls only the loudspeaker or those loudspeakers of the loudspeaker system which is/are closest to the specific position.
