In this study a new concept of functional modelling and simulation is introduced. First, the necessity and the expected outcomes of the new concept are explained. Secondly, the methodology of functional modelling based on a modular concept and the basic elements are presented, with details of OFS (Organico Functional Set). Then, the implementation of the new modelling concept using Sherpa Engineering's PhiSim environment is described in order to perform simulations. Finally, the proposed modelling method is applied to two different applications: a generic parallel hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) and a waste water treatment unit of a building. Simulation results of parallel HEV application are also presented.
HAL is a multidisciplinary open access archive for the deposit and dissemination of scientific research documents, whether they are published or not. The documents may come from teaching and research institutions in France or abroad, or from public or private research centers. L'archive ouverte pluridisciplinaire HAL, est destinée au dépôt et à la diffusion de documents scientifiques de niveau recherche, publiés ou non, émanant des établissements d'enseignement et de recherche français ou étrangers, des laboratoires publics ou privés.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
