In this paper, using the GUI environment of Matlab, we simulate the transient behavior of induction motor. For this purpose, the relevant equations are stated in the beginning, and then by the coordinate transformation, the simulation model in two phase ab stationary frame is built and put in an appropriate form suitable to be processed with Matlab. The result of simulation curves agrees well with the actual situation of running motors. This virtual laboratory can be used to assist in the understanding and testing of electrical machines in engineering degrees.
