In the early stage of the development of mechatronic systems, designers define system architecture as a set of subsystems and their interfaces in collaboration with domain experts across engineering domains. System architecture is crucial for designers and domain experts to understand the function of each subsystem within the context of overall function and clarify the design objectives of each subsystem and its constraints in relation with neighboring subsystems. This paper proposes a method to compose the structural hierarchy of a system along with functional system decomposition using the knowledge about physical phenomena, which are defined in terms of parameter relations across engineering domains. The method has been implemented on a CAD system for system architecting and demonstrated with a system architecting case of an air conditioner. The method helps systematically generate possible structural hierarchies of a mechatronic system.
