Compound Wound DC Motor - long-shunt short-shunt

Hi there,

I am new to simulink, and simulations in general, so please bear with me. I have watched the following webinars:

 1. http://www.mathworks.com/videos/modeling-a-dc-motor-68852.html
 2. http://www.mathworks.com/videos/estimating-parameters-of-a-dc-motor-68856.html

I was able to replicate the general DC Model as shown in (webinar1), but as far as I can tell this is a series wound or generic dc motor.

My goal is to model a compound wound DC motor and show the Torque, Voltage, angular velocity diagrams for both short shunt and long shunt DC motors, under load.

Is it possible to construct a dc motor within simulink, with:

 simscape - Magnetic - Magnetic elements - Reluctance force actuator?

Are there any examples somewhere that I could study?

thank you in advance, Jacob Karapatakis

Simscape Electrical introduced a Compound Motor model in R2021a.

It is also possible to use multidomain simulation in Simscape Electrical. For more insights check the Faulted PMSM example.
