Summary:In this paper, we propose a SysML model and a Modelica simulation of an air-jet conveyor for micro objects. Indeed, modeling and simulation are part of verification & validation activities, which are important tasks during the conception of a complex system. This article focuses mainly on the modeling and simulation of air-jet nozzles and on their influence on a millimeter size object. The obtained results are discussed and analyzed to obtain information on the conveyor system. This work is part of the ANR Smart Blocks project.
