What exactly are you trying to simulate? The motor as a load, or theI need help in designing and simulating a circuit on PSIM/Matlab/
PSpice for a simple DC motor going forward/stop/reverse using a 12Vdc
source
My application is a power window DC motor controlled by up/neutral/
down window switch - any tips/ideas?

the up switch is pressed and then the same for when the down switch is
pressed with the motor spinning the other way to roll down a window
I guess I need an H-bridge type circuit

Yes.
Plus:
1. When the switch is released, and it goes to neutral, do you want to
brake the motor or let it coast to a stop?
2. Do you want to have limit switches at the ends of the window's
travel or do you just want stall current to be drawn until the
switch is released and goes to neutral?

Thanks for the help - will look into itModel the motor as a resistor (the armature resistance) in series with a
capacitor that's in parallel with a resistor. The cap/resistor parallel
combination simulates the inertia and friction of the mechanical load, as
seen by the motor.
Set the series resistor value to the armature resistance, set the second
resistor (that's in parallel with the cap) to properly establish your
expected 'running' current, then choose the cap to give you the right
mechanical time constant.
