Reproducing thermal coupling between components in a generic environment like Matlab

We show here the actual state of a project based on n object-oriented philosophy, MotorLab. It is an interface to general and widely available interactive modeling environments (Matlab[2] and Ylab[3]1), and relies on the use of the description structure during the whole modeling process. Furthermore, we tried from the beginning to base the modeling process in MotorLab on a technological description without need, when possible, to ask the user for lower-level indications. The presented prototype is running, but many works remains to be done to reach the fixed objectives.
