Abstract :
A drive simulation tool is re-engineered to allow nonspecialist users to model and analyse complex drive systems. This is achieved by re-designing the simulation environment to embody the problem domain. Towards this end a visual interactive modelling and simulation environment called Visual CASED (Computer Analysis and Simulation of Electrical Drives) has been developed. Visual CASED´s ease of use has been demonstrated through its use as a teaching aid for a Generalised Machines course at the Department of Electrical Engineering, University of Witwatersrand
