    This link at fueleconomy.gov provides a simulation of general hybrid operation: http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/hybridAnimation/swfs/hybridframe.html 

    Below are simulations of various drivetrains to assist in understanding their operation. These simulations were created using LabVIEW software.
