I am trying to do a control simulation using Control System Professional of a motor drive system, but I am having a problem. How do I model saturation of a physical system? For instance, when I model an electric motor driving a belt and pulley system, the controller will command torques and currents that the system cannot realistically provide. Thus, I need to clip these values in order to prevent them from getting too high. How do I do this? Any ideas? I am sure I am not the first person to have asked this question! Thanks! Gary
