Abstract
A variety of possible technical concepts can be considered for an electromechanical drivetrain. To evaluate them, for each a simulation of the physical behavior, lifetime or efficiency must be performed. However, the required modelling can be very time-consuming. This article describes a method to reduce manual modelling efforts, allowing the simulative evaluation of large technical solution spaces. Therefore, a modelling standardization for variant model networks is presented, which can be easily configured to simulate specific concepts and purposes. In addition, an approach for the automated identification, configuration and execution of concept- and purpose-related models is introduced. The method is implemented in MATLAB
