More on regenerative braking, including an example.

Role of subsystem in vehicle
Braking in ADVISOR is distributed between driveline braking (regen) and friction braking (normal).  In the figure below, dl refers to the variable wh_fa_dl_brake_frac and faf refers to the variable wh_fa_fric_brake_frac.

The following example sets the driveline to receive 90% of the desired braking, and the front friction brakes to receive 6% of the total brake request.
