Research and design engineers usually use three sources of information: analytic models, numerical models and experimental studies. Analytic and numerical models are theoretical models which must be calibrated and verified regarding the accuracy of their results using the data acquired from experimental studies. If these models are deeply integrated from the beginning, the overview result is a hybrid model. From this standpoint, the paper presents the underlying concepts and studies employed to create a hybrid model of a weighting device. The paper presents the analytic background of the problem to be solved, the numerical model and the dimensioning of the experimental device. The study is still in progress, the following stages being the manufacturing of the device and calibration of the weighting platform.
