      Network data containing:
      • coolant_lines
        List of coolant circuits with:
        • battery_modules

          List of battery thermal management systems

        • heat_exchangers

          List of heat exchanger components

        • reservoirs

          List of thermal reservoir components

        • identical_battery_modulesbool

          Flag indicating if batteries are identical

  • save_figure (bool, optional) – Flag for saving the figure (default: False)

  • show_legend (bool, optional) – Flag to display component legends (default: True)

  • file_type (str, optional) – File extension for saved figures (default: “.png”)

  • width (float, optional) – Figure width in inches (default: 12)

  • height (float, optional) – Figure height in inches (default: 7)

Returns:

Function generates and displays/saves plots for each component

Return type:

None

Notes

Creates visualizations showing:

  • Battery thermal management system performance

  • Heat exchanger operating conditions

  • Reservoir thermal states

  • Overall system behavior

For each component type:

  • Calls appropriate plotting function

  • Passes component-specific data

  • Maintains consistent formatting

  • Handles identical/unique components
