There are three demo models included in the PLECS Library and various target support packages that highlight induction machine control with very simple mechanical models:

Induction Machine Drive Controlled with DTC (PLECS Demo Model Library)

Vector Control of an Induction Machine ([TI C2000 Target Support Package](https://www.plexim.com/download/tsp_c2000))
