What's New in MapleSim

MapleSim 2025 from Maplesoft offers a series of enhancements to help users create and analyze simulations.

This release includes a new component library to support the modeling of motor drives, updates to several in-product apps to simplify the ability to perform optimization and analysis, and an upgraded computation engine to incorporate recent improvements that are available in Maple 2025.

New Component Library: Motor Drives

• The new MapleSim Motor Drives Library uses resources to simulate AC, DC and Servo motors as part of the modeling projects.
• This library is available within the base MapleSim product package, allowing users to include characteristics of custom motor drives alongside systems from other engineering domains.

Highlights include:

• Servo Motor components. Engineers can use these new components to explore how the motor behaviors will affect performance, productivity (cycle time), control response and machine vibrations of systems they design.
• Evaluate motor drive performance with the built-in inverter drive and controls for AC synchronous and DC (brushed or brushless) motors.
• Simulate single-phase and polyphase motor drives.
• New in-product examples include PMSM, DC (Brushed), Brushless DC, and Servo motor models.

Updates to Model Analysis Apps

• The Optimization and Parameter Sweep apps let users limit the analysis time to a specific window.
• The updated Modal Analysis app has new options for better visualization and scaling, and now allows you to save time when updating the analysis by reusing a previously linearized model.

Improvements to Add-on Products

• The MapleSim CAD Toolbox offers support for recent software releases from Catia V5, Inventor, Parasolid, and other CAD tools.
• This release of MapleSim Connector for JMAG-RT adds compatibility for FEA models that use the latest version of JMAG-Designer, and also includes modeling options for synchronous reluctance motors.

Updates to MapleSim Insight

• MapleSim Insight gives machine builders simulation-based debugging and 3-D visualization capabilities that directly connect to your automation tools. The 2025 release of MapleSim Insight adds support for models using any new MapleSim 2025 features.

These enhancements are available to MapleSim customers who are enrolled in the Maplesoft Elite Maintenance Plan at the time of its release. (Customers who were not under EMP at that time can contact Maplesoft sales to obtain an upgrade.)

Getting the Update

The first major MapleSim release of the year is automatically sent to all MapleSim customers who are members of the Maplesoft Elite Maintenance Plan at that time. Users will receive an email with instructions once the release is available. Subsequent updates for the remainder of the year are issued through the Check for Updates mechanism built into MapleSim. Update releases can also be found by visiting Download Product Updates.
