A study that compares several aspects of Amesim, Dymola, Simulink and SimScape. The application is simulation of battery ageing.

Dymola comes out very favorably, for example in simulation performance.

It can be noticed that runtime of Simcenter Amesim for 24-hour simulation is only about 3.5 times slower than Dymola (average of 0.895 seconds vs 0.254 seconds), while for lifetime simulation the overall runtime is 82.3 times slower (15715 seconds vs 191 seconds).

Dymola outperforms SimScape and Simulink too, by at least 5x.
