📖 Project Overview

This project is a Physics-Accurate Virtual Lab designed to simulate the characteristics of a DC Shunt Motor. Unlike traditional "Black Box" simulators that hide the logic, this project follows the "Glass Box" philosophy, making all underlying mathematical formulas and constants visible to the user.

It directly addresses Theme 7: Open Innovation by providing an accessible, safe, and transparent educational tool for engineering students.
