Information

A simple dynamic model of a controlled DC motor consisting of a variable voltage source, a couple of failing resistors, an inductor, and an electro-motoric force element representing the coupling between electric energy and mechanical energy provided by the magnetic field in the DC motor. The motor axis is represented by a damped rotating inertia. Reliability annotations have been added to various components in the model. Boolean step sources determine the time at which the resistors fail.
