description In the present paper, a comparison between the simulation performance of a highly nonlinear model in MATLAB/Simulink and a compiled language has been drawn. A complete powertrain layout was formed in Simulink and the same model was developed from scratch in Fortran 2003 which led to creating a complete simulation software program named Powertrain Simulator. The results show that for a system with not many details and phase changes, both of the simulation environments offer acceptable performance. However, when the modeling layout is overly complicated, developing the model in a compiled language is a smarter choice.
