Tim, the articles about modelling mechanical devices were from www.intusoft.com, e.g. have a look at http://www.intusoft.com/articles/relaycd4.pdf. If you search google and take the links you do not even have to register at intusoft to view the documents. BTW, have also a look at the math.lib in the protel sim.ddb.
