 Enhanced Tools for Solution Development
  With a variety of new tools supporting every stage of the application development process,
  Maple 13 makes it even easier to develop robust, reusable solutions for challenging engineering problems

> The Maple Portal for Engineers provides a starting point for hundreds of common engineering
     calculations, including pointers to both interactive tools and commands. It also includes
     step-by-steps tutorials that cover key topics in application development such as data structures
     and creating interactive applications
 
> Context-sensitive menus for control systems development means that creation, manipulation, and
     visualization operations from the Dynamic Systems package can all be done with a click of a button
 
> CAD Connectivity support, which provides analysis capabilities to CAD systems such as SolidWorks
   and Autodesk Inventor, has been expanded to include NX®
 
> Element-wise operations for applying functions to all members of a data structure provide a powerful
   and easy way to separate data structure operations from mathematical operations simplifying application
   development
 
> Vector Calculus Task Template enhancements provide new templates and improved notation to support
   to make these notationally challenging problems easier to set up and the results easier to interpret.
 
New "Getting Started" Content Designed for Engineers
Maple 13 makes it even easier for engineering instructors and students to become productive. In addition
to the myriad of easy-to-use interactive tools already in Maple, Maple 13 provides more "getting started"
material to accommodate different learning style. With information for beginner and intermediate users,
engineering students and their instructors will have even more time available for valuable concept learning
and exploration.

 > The Maple Portal for Engineers, provides a starting point for hundreds of common engineering
    calculations, including pointers to both interactive tools and commands. The portal is perfect for those
    who prefer to start solving problems immediately and pick up the basics along the way.
 
Powerful Tools for Learning and Doing Mathematics
Maple 13 includes many new learning tools for exploring, visualizing, and understanding mathematical
concepts. It also provides new leading-edge algorithms for solving difficult mathematical problems.

> New and improved concept-learning tools help students deepen their understanding and build up
    the strong mathematical foundations required for later course. Concept learning tools in the Maple 13
    include new tutors for Complex Variables, an improved Equation Manipulator assistant, and
    enhanced step-by step problem solvers for Calculus.
 
> The Student Numerical Analysis package provides tools and interactive tutors for learning, visualizing,
   and applying numerical analysis techniques, making these methods much easier to comprehend.
   
> Maple 13 applies revolutionary techniques for finding solutions to differential equations that are
   beyond the scope of standard methods, greatly extends the event-handling abilities for numeric
   solutions, and enhances the abilities and performance of the world-class DAE solvers.
 
> Vector Calculus Task Template enhancements provide new templates and improved notation support
   to make these notationally challenging problems easier to set up and the results easier to interpret.
 
> Mathematical algorithm enhancements include the ability to determine the parameter conditions
   under which specified types of solutions exist, improvements to numeric integration, integration of
   special functions, solving inequalities, finding solutions over the real domain, expanded support for
   graph theory and combinatorics, and more.
 
MapleSim™ 2 introduces extraordinary 3-D visualization and animation tools which easily transform
multibody models into realistic animations, providing greater insight into the system behavior. It also
provides tools for managing results from multiple simulations, simplifying a notoriously tedious and
confusing task.
    

3-D Visualization and Animations

With MapleSim 2, you can easily transform your multibody models into realistic  animations. These
animations make it substantially easier to validate the system diagram and give greater insight into
your system behavior. Because the animations are comprehensible to a wider audience, they can
even help make your project presentations more effective.
 
  • Multibody mechanisms are automatically rendered as “ball and stick” 3-D models for easy visualization of the topology and dynamic behavior of your system. No extra steps are required.
  •  You can add more realism to animations by providing STL 3-D shape files from CAD systems for the components.
  • Playback controls, including a slider for frame-by-frame control of the animation, make it easy to closely examine significant behavior.
  • Camera motion controls, such as panning, zooming, tumbling, and tracking, let you focus on areas of interest.
  •  Force and torque vector indicators are included in the animation to aid in the interpretation of the system behavior.
  •  A path tracking component allows you to trace the motion of a point of interest in the animation.

 

 
Result Management
Managing results from multiple simulations can be tedious and confusing. MapleSim simplifies this task
and reduces the risk of mistakes by providing tools to manage these results.
     
  • Results from each simulation are saved and given a unique identifier, allowing easy access to all results.
  • Previously generated simulation graphs and animations can be viewed without re-executing simulations.
  • Results from different simulations can be placed side-by-side or overlaid for easy comparison.
  • Simulation results can by manually or automatically stored with the model, so they remain accessible from one MapleSim session to another.
  • Results can be given meaningful descriptions, deleted, and exported to data files.
