The simulation of electric machines is required in many fields of applications. For the simulation of electric vehicles or hybrid electric vehicles it is often important to take multi physical effects into account. Only the full coupling of different physical domains allows a systemic analysis of the entire power train. The electric energy storage, power electronics, control and electric machines may have some kind of forced air or liquid cooling. The cooling circuits of each of the electric devices may be coupled or not. Depending on the complexity of the vehicle, the mutual coupling of thermal, mechanical and electrical effects may be crucial when the entire electric power train shall be designed. A flexible and open environment for modeling the electric energy storage, the power electronics, the electric machines, gears and clutches is thus very beneficial in the design phase. In this book chapter object oriented models of rotating electric three phase machines will be presented. To these machines will be referred with the general term induction machines. Particular machines handled in this paper are
