DynaFlexPro is a Maple package for modeling and simulating the dynamics of mechanical multibody systems.  A graphical user interface, DynaFlexPro ModelBuilder, facilitates the rapid creation of system models using block diagrams and drop-down menus.  DynaFlexPro combines graph theory with engineering mechanics in algorithms that automatically generate the system equations from the system model. Maple’s powerful computer algebra technologies are used to create concise and efficient sets of system equations in symbolic form, which facilitates viewing, physical insight, and sharing.  Not only does this facilitate the design, optimization, simulation and control of complex engineering systems, this symbolic approach is well-suited to teaching of mechanical system design. The latest usability features of DynaFlexPro v3.0 mean that you can produce models of complex mechanical systems without knowing anything about linear graph theory or Maple command syntax. New Task Assistants and a Coordinate Selection dialog provide a much easier user interface for developing your mechanical systems models than ever before.
