Method, structure, apparatus, computer program and computer-readable storage medium for analyzing a mechatronic system

A method for analyzing and clearing a fault in a vehicle which has one or more mechatronic components, the method comprising:

• providing structure data representative of a predefined structure for a network, wherein the predefined structure has a plurality of layers and each respective layer of the plurality of layers is representative in each case of a technical domain of the vehicle;
• generating, with a computer, a model in the form of a multilayer network depending on a multiplicity of input data relating to the vehicle and to the predefined structure, wherein the multilayer network comprises a plurality of nodes and a plurality of connections, each of the plurality of connections being between two nodes, wherein each node of the plurality of nodes is assigned to one of the plurality of layers, the multilayer network including an instruction layer wherein each respective node assigned to the instruction layer comprises one or more instruction attributes and is representative of a respective instruction for a fault clearance and analysis of the vehicle, the instruction layer representative of associations between the respective instructions for the fault clearance and analysis of the vehicle;
• analyzing, with the computer, the vehicle depending on the multilayer network;
• and
• performing the instruction for the fault clearance on the vehicle in order to clear a fault in the vehicle.
