MapleSim for Modeling and Simulation

By DE Editors

MapleSim, the new high-performance multi-domain modeling and simulation tool from Maplesoft (Waterloo, Canada), is now available for purchase globally. After months of intense pilot testing and feedback from approximately 1500 organizations spanning 85 countries, MapleSim is now ready for engineers eager to dramatically shorten their product development cycle and provide their companies with a competitive advantage.

With the physical modeling techniques in MapleSim, the time and cost spent creating models is reduced, says the company. Users can simply create the system diagram on the screen, in the same way they would draw it on paper. The model equations are then generated automatically.

MapleSim applies symbolic preprocessing techniques to these model equations, creating simplified and highly efficient models. Code generated from these simplified models can be exported to real-time and other applications. Because of the symbolic preprocessing, this code runs ten to one hundred times faster for complex models, says the company.

MapleSim contains tools for model design and analysis, including dynamic analysis, control design, and optimization. MapleSim even allows users to easily create custom components and live design documentation.
