Like motors, circuit breakers, transformers and other basic electronics components like opamp, diodes, triodes , transistors etc.
I must able to know at what speed the motor is running , torque produced, current and voltage parameters etc.
PSCAD is an interesting software, its relatively easier than simulink and definitively worth exploring.
Yes, I agree with Mr. Kanabar. You can use the demo version of PSIM. My students use this software for years. Easy to learn and use.
motor characteriscs can be simulated using matlab in model and can explain to students how motor charectreistcs vary with parametrs .also one can explain the variation of sppeed and torque at diffrent loads

Hi Sanat,
As Mulkutla has suggested you can use MATLAB and Simulink software package for modeling of different characteristics of electrical machines and drives. The library includes many examples and you can change the models/configurations and parameters very easy. Also, you can find out at many Universities website, which have lectures about the topic you mentioned before, a lot of usefull examples. Good luck.
All types of motors are readily available with MATLAB latest versions.....Also in softwares like PSIM(power sim)....works good for power electronics & drives....plenty of reseaech work is available in motors fed from power electronic converters
For simulating machine behavior, like transient/steady state analysis and dq0/αβ transformations, grid operation etc Simulink is great. It is quite easy to learn and has a lot of capabilities. Also there is PSCAD which is great but personally i dont find it as handt as Simunink. Its main advantage is the fact that simulations are carried out much quicker than in Simulink. For machine Finite Element Analysis there is FEMM which is open source software with a great tutorial. For magnet/electrostatic 3D analysis there is Maxwell, exceptional software but quite difficult to use and really expensive
I agree that Matlab is great but I prefer to make the blocks of the machines personally in Matlab rather than using the built-in blocks, as it is not really clear which equations and parameters have been used to design those blocks.
EMTP_RV for power system simulation of machines. Infolytica for machine design
Have some of you use2 complete symulation platform for electromobility, for example
http://mdx2.plm.automation.siemens.com/webinar/driving-electric-powertrain-innovation-through-simulation-0
Do you know any other solution like that
For electrical motors it is now possible to use Python using PYLEECAN open source software for electrical machines simulation, see www.pyleecan.org
The software is fully coupled to FEMM.

Pyleecan seems an interesting tool but working with Pyleecan is not easy because there is no tutorial or a proper guideline for it.
We are currently working on tutorials based on Jupyter notebooks as well as video tutorials, they should be released before May 2020, I recommend to subscribe to Pyleecan newsletter to get latest news at www.pyleecan.org. We will also make a Pyleecan training at ICEM conference in Sweden.
Hi,
You can use PSCAD or MATLAB.
Matlab already has a huge supporting platform (File exchange) which you can get sample projects on different machines.
PSCAD has faster simulation.
Hiii Sanath!
These are the finest Simulation software for simulating electrical drives, machines and etc..
1.AnyLogic. AnyLogic is a simulation modeling tool for electrical devices and many more.
2.MATLAB: Is perhaps the most popular simulation software on this list.
3.SimScale.
4.Simul8.
5.COMSOL Multiphysics.
6.Simulink.
7.Arena.
Thanks, and enjoy the simulation.
One Lab is free and there are several examples of machines and transformer available for the students. However, it does not have many tutorials.
I think that Matlab Simulink is the best especially with the power system bib which include all type of machines
I propose Matlab/Simulink as a friendly enviromental tool with a rich library that includes most electrical equipements and machinery.
We can add AltairFlux as well as MotorCAD to the above names. However, for simulating every single details as you mentioned, I would recommend Ansys Package (Electronics, Workbench, and so on).
