This paper presents different modelling approaches and design tools initially developed for the preliminary design of mechatronic system and applied here to power electronic converters. Different type of models, components level and system level, are needed and exemplify with a DC/DC converter. A dedicated framework is used to manipulate and associate the models. An optimization of the converter is finally realized.
