Using GUI of Matlab to create a virtual laboratory to study an induction machine

Recently, appeared the powerful data-processing tools, which allows simulating the dynamic systems in a simple way, in graphic environment. The article briefly presents how to use the software of Graphical User Interfaces (GUI) of MATLAB and shows its application to a traditional problem of dynamics of the electric machines: the simulation of the starting of an asynchronous machine. The goal of this paper is to provide electrical engineers and students with an introduction to the GUI. The same approach can be used to solve more difficult problems.
