What is it about?

Based on time domain simulations, a reference model is taken from early simulation data and used as a reference, rather than using a simulation that runs for a long time. This way we can see how a model converges to a solution away from the coarse, crude, first "look-see". This is in contrast to the approach where the model would have to run for a long time in order to get a reference.

Why is it important?

This can help reduce the time taken for simulations to run. It turns the problem of deciding what a model reference should be on its head.

Perspectives

It is good to challenge "the way things are usually done". In this case we have decided to see how a set of results taken from early iterations of a simulation can be used to decide whether the simulation has converged to a final solution using the FSV (feature selective validation) method as the objective metric. The results presented are indicative and there is plenty of further research to do on this to see how well it works under different conditions.
