    what do u mean motors and generators? do you want like a spice tool to simulate circuits or system simulation? for circuits I would recommend Orcad's Pspice (student version is free, google it). You can also download LTSpice from Linear Technology for free. If you want to "simulate" motors, you going to have model it as an inductor with a resistor usually or whatever the motor represents.

    If you are building circuts to control motors you need something like PSIM for Simulation of Motors and Power Electronics. It probably is not cheap and you will need some fairly serious computer power to run it to simulate all the nonlinearities associated with loads.
