“…Now, the execution of visualization and simulation duties are possible as the information is suitably organized in a set of Comma-separated Values (.CSV) files (e.g., Gendata, Linecode, Linedata, Nodedata, Segmentsdata and Loaddata) having a data structure similar than the one employed in [34] which is common within the power systems domain to perform power flow studies. Further details on the aforementioned process are described in reference [8].…”

“…Therefore, if the user assigns a current profile to a consumer present in a secondary harness, it is first required to perform a simulation in this harness in order to obtain the corresponding current consumption for each pin of the coupling as this element would be assumed as a load when simulating the main harness. A detailed explanation regarding the simulation numerical methods, considerations and algorithms can be found in [8]. There, simulation results are compared against experimental data in a real test scenario, exposing satisfactory results.…”

“…To cope these challenges and permit vehicle design engineers an early detection of unsuitable configurations, such as those leading to undesired voltage drops, excessive temperatures or mistaken components sizing, the development of versatile simulation methods and platforms is compelling. In this respect, recent research has proposed frameworks to perform EDS power flow simulations considering the specific data format employed in the automotive industry and using algorithms based on backward/forward sweep [6] and current-injections methods [8]. In [2], the relevancy to include Visual Analytics tactics in EDS simulation environments is highlighted to facilitate human-data interaction.…”

For the validation of vehicular Electrical Distribution Systems (EDS), engineers are currently required to analyze disperse information regarding technical requirements, standards and datasheets. Moreover, an enormous effort takes place to elaborate testing plans that are representative for most EDS possible configurations. These experiments are followed by laborious data analysis. To diminish this workload and the need for physical resources, this work reports a simulation platform that centralizes the tasks for testing different EDS configurations and assists the early detection of inadequacies in the design process. A specific procedure is provided to develop a software tool intended for this aim. Moreover, the described functionalities are exemplified considering as a case study the main wire harness from a commercial vehicle. A web-based architecture has been employed in alignment with the ongoing software development revolution and thus provides flexibility for both, developers and users. Due to its scalability, the proposed software scheme can be extended to other web-based simulation applications. Furthermore, the automatic generation of electrical layouts for EDS is addressed to favor an intuitive understanding of the network. To favor human–information interaction, utilized visual analytics strategies are also discussed. Finally, full simulation workflows are exposed to provide further insights on the deployment of this type of computer platforms.
