Maplesoft Solution Enables Fast Model Development
Maplesoft has announced several products that will help educators, researchers and students better understand and manage engineering modelling and simulation problems. Available from Adept Scientific, the MapleSim solution for physical modelling, combined with a collection of toolboxes, enables fast model development, advanced analysis and the creation of complex multi-domain models. The Maplesoft solution suite includes MapleSim 3, which has an enhanced modelling platform.
Modelling capabilities have been extended with component libraries for hydraulics and electrical machines. Refined solvers that handle even greater model complexity have also been added. A collection of prebuilt models accelerates the introduction of MapleSim in any academic setting. In the classroom, MapleSim provides an environment where instructors can quickly demonstrate the connection between concepts and their underlying mathematical theory and physical behaviour.
For research applications, MapleSim produces highly optimised equation-based models to provide the best possible real-time performance for hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) applications. The MapleSim Control Design Toolbox provides a solid set of essential control design tools that extend MapleSim's plant modelling capabilities to support control design. This toolbox takes advantage of the symbolic approach for designing, analysing and testing control systems, which results in greater flexibility and accuracy. In addition, developing plants and controllers together in the MapleSim environment accelerates the development process. With this toolbox, MapleSim can be used to teach the fundamentals of control design in a way that provides deeper insight and understanding.
MapleSim LabView Connector integrates MapleSim's modelling environment into the LabView real-time platform from National Instruments. Engineers using LabView can quickly develop and optimise complex engineering system models in the visual modelling environment of MapleSim. This toolbox joins the MapleSim Simulink Connector, which provides enhanced connectivity with Simulink and Real-Time Workshop. When combined, these products ensure that MapleSim now connects to all popular real-time platforms typically found in university labs.
