Maplesoft’s suite of tools for modeling and analyzing engineering systems relieves the burden that is typically associated with using traditional simulation tools to develop high-fidelity models. Maplesoft’s next-generation graphical tools for model development and analysis dramatically reduce the time and cost of up-front analysis, virtual prototyping, and parameter optimization of system designs. Maple and MapleSim are used extensively for designing multi-domain systems where kinematic, dynamic, and thermal behaviors need to be considered. The suite includes tools for easily transferring your work into your existing design toolchain, including SolidWorks®, AutoDesk Inventor®, and Siemens® NX®. MapleSim High-performance multi-domain modeling and simulation. Maple The essential technical computing software for today’s engineers. MapleSim Connector Automatic generation of Simulink® S-functions from MapleSim models. The generated ANSI-C code is compatible with Real-Time Workshop for simulation on supported platforms such as dSPACE and xPC Target. MapleSim Control Design Toolbox A solid set of essential control design tools that extend MapleSim's exceptional plant modeling capabilities to support control design. MapleSim Connector for LabVIEW™ and NI VeriStand™ Software Include high-fidelity MapleSim models in your LabVIEW VIs and NI VeriStand Applications. The generated code is highly optimized for execution on all floating-point real-time processors from National Instruments. Structural Mechanics for Maple Allows the calculation of statics and dynamics of spatial beam structures including discrete masses and inertias in points, springs and dampers. This is a third-party product. Mechanics of Materials™ A Maple package that offers solutions to linear and elastic beam bending problems. This is a third-party product.
