Permanent magnet (PM) synchronous motors are widely used in low and mid power

applications such as computer peripheral equipments, robotics, adjustable speed drives and

electric vehicles.

The growth in the market of PM motor drives has demanded the need of simulation

tools capable of handling motor drive simulations. Simulations have helped the process of

developing new systems including motor drives, by reducing cost and time. Simulation tools

have the capabilities of performing dynamic simulations of motor drives in a visual

environment so as to facilitate the development of new systems
