Simulating Induction motor inter-turn short circuit faults

Hi! Using Simulink / Simscape I wish to Simulate an Induction Motor for getting normal operation and inter-turn short circuit fault data for training my Machine learning based fault classifier. I basically desire a model that incorporates saturation and iron losses effects as well. Any help and guidance is requested.

Normally we can model electrical machines by representing each winding as a single entity with associated inductance, electromotive force, and mutual inductive coupling to adjacent windings. However, when a winding fault occurs, the single entity assumption breaks down. To correctly capture the resulting dynamics, you have to model the motor at a winding level. This requires modeling in the magnetic domain. Simscape Electrical has an example of a faulted PMSM that may be used as a starting point:
