Maplesoft’s suite of engineering tools reduces the burden of developing high-fidelity models of automotive powertrain systems, including engines, transmissions, brakes, and drivelines. Compared to traditional simulation tools, 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 in powertrain control applications. The product suite includes tools for easily transferring work into an existing design toolchain, such as MATLAB® and Simulink®, and is especially useful for hardware-in-the-loop simulations. MapleSim High-performance multi-domain modeling and simulation. Maple The essential technical computing software for today’s automotive engineers. Global Optimization Toolbox World-class optimization technology in an intuitive environment. Ideal for parameter estimation, model fitting and controller tuning. Global Optimization with Maple An essential resource for the Global Optimization tools, providing extensive background to optimization, tips on model preparation and implementation of optimization solutions within Maple. This is a third-party product. 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.
