Retaining analog intuition in a digital world with bond graphs

Abstract: Although digital computers have supplanted analog computers for the simulation of physical systems, and digital signal processors have largely replaced analog devices in control systems, most engineers still think about mechatronic systems in analog terms. Skilled circuit designers and many others can use their intuition to solve dynamic problems by modifying components or inserting new elements into a system. This intuition is based not only on experience with physical systems, but also on simulation of continuous signal mathematical models.
