Cyber-physical systems have to do with a strong interaction between the physical world and a computing system, which should be transparent to an external observer. In this paper, a an approach for modeling and specifying requirements for these systems is presented. It is called 3D Approach and it is based on the well-known 4-Variable Model. The proposed extension intends to tackle the particularities involved in the development of a cyber-physical systems by a multidisciplinary team and consequently it emphasizes a practical and applied point of view. The 3D Approach came out as the result of systematizing lessons learned in the design of a biodigester, which allows the anaerobic digestion of biomass for the production of biogas.
