Resumen

The aim of this research is to develop an electric motor simulator based on an electromechanical mathematical model, which can be used as a didactic tool for teaching courses in mechanical, electrical and electromechanical engineering laboratories. We used an analytical method to study the principles and elements of all parts of a DC motor and an experimental technique to collect the data; the Python programming language was used to perform the data analysis. In the validation of the model, a correlation of 0.775 was found for current; that is, the strength of association is high, and a correlation of 0.94 for velocity, which explains a very high strength of association. Furthermore, the root mean square error in current is 0.002, while the root mean square error in velocity is 1.189. The numerical results illustrate the robustness and stability of the mathematical model. The research has both academic and social contributions, it serves as a basis for future research work related to mathematical modeling in the field of mechanical, electrical, electromechanical, and control engineering. In future research, the goal is to model a number of motor types and subsequently develop an electric motor multisimulator for educational and economic purposes.
