	Variable DQ (VDQ)		Spatial Harmonics(SH)
	Constant Ld/Lq	Variable Ld/Lq	V1	V2
Description	2 phase equivalent circuit model with a d-q rotating reference frame and variable inductance table according to the operating point.		3 phase detailed model with 3D table for flux, torque and inductance.
Advantages	Fast execution: ~ 100 ns Low FPGA resource usage Variable Ld – Lq Good for most operating condition		Simulation of spatial/current harmonics FEA based models Mechanical model on FPGA
Disadvantages	No simulation of current harmonics.		Slower execution: ~ 500 ns High FPGA resource usage
Minimum time step	100 ns		500 ns
Electrical machine parameters	Constant Ld, Lq and magnet flux.	2D tables for Ld, Lq and magnet flux Id and Iq are dependent.	3D tables for phase inductance, magnet flux and torque tables Id Iq and θ are dependent.
Mechanical model	Basic inertia and friction mechanical model attached to the rotor. Users can define their own model on CPU or through customizing the FPGA
