Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 9. Step (3), computation time of the simulation-based evaluation phase: the pie chart shows the relative time distribution from 1. ‘Pre-processing’ towards an automatic generated SimScape model in 2, which is used for the subsequent simulation-based evaluation steps (3. – 7.) towards the last step 8. ‘Close model’. For this example, the total simulation time including only one simulation run equals 2.4 s (complete pie chart) for the mixed CVT topology (Cf. Fig. 6d). Searching for all operation modes and evaluating the performances require additionally 12 runs for mode searching and 8 runs for performance evaluation (by repeating steps 4. – 7.) 1 run (already incl. in the pie-chart)) × 20% (steps 4. – 7.) of the 2.4 s equals in total 11.5 s.

Article Snippet: Accordingly, the synthesized and unique topologies are automatically transformed into dynamic simulation models in using the Simscape software within the Matlab Simulink environment [20] in step (3b).
