Behind MapleSim lies the power
of Maple, the world’s strongest math engine.As a MapleSim
User, you will |
|
benefit in a variety of ways
from over 20 years of research and development that have gone
into the Maple |
|
product. |
|
|
|
|
How MapleSim Uses Maple
MapleSim builds on Maple’s extensive numeric and
symbolic computational abilities to perform high-speed
simulations of very complex models. Features such as equation
generation, symbolic simplification, and units management are
all made possible by the Maple mathematical engine. |
 |
|
|
MapleSim
capabilities provided by Maple include:
- Elimination of redundant equations
- Separation of independent systems
- Large-scale symbolic simplification
- Efficient equation management
- Application of hybrid
numeric-symbolic algorithms
- Advanced high-index DAE solving
|
|
|
|
Additional Benefits
As a MapleSim user, you have direct access to
the complete Maple system, including its intuitive user
interface, technical documentation tools, and extensive
library of algorithms. Many Maple document and analysis
templates are included with MapleSim. Using the full power of
Maple, you can: |
|
|
- Perform advanced
mathematical analysis: You can use Maple to access
and view the equations that underlie a system model and
perform advanced mathematical analysis using those
equations.
|
- Create custom components:
Maple is also a very effective environment for building
custom MapleSim components from first principles. Do you
want to consider higher-order effects in a particular part
of your model? You can use Maple to derive the corresponding
equations and automatically wrap them into a new component
for use within MapleSim.

About Using MapleSim and Simulink |
|
While MapleSim™ offers many advantages over Simulink®,
Maplesoft™ also offers solutions that allows you to |
|
enhance and extend your Simulink
models by integrating MapleSim’s high-performance,
multi-domain environment |
|
into your existing toolchain. By
including MapleSim in your development process. |
|
|
- Produce models that can be
simulated in Simulink more quickly than if the model had
been created in Simulink with appropriate add-ons.
|
- Create complex models more easily
and accurately using MapleSim’s intuitive modeling
environment.
|
- Generate high-performance models of
complex engineering systems for Real-Time Workshop®. Using
MapleSim with the MapleSim Connectivity Toolbox is the only
way to simulate many systems fast enough for real-time
applications without losing fidelity.
|
- Gain a better understanding of
model behavior through MapleSim’s analysis tools
|
- Increase the reusability of your
models through the use of the MapleSim design documentation
environment
|
|
 |
|
|
|
The
MapleSim Connectivity Toolbox
The MapleSim Connectivity Toolbox allows you to quickly
develop and optimize engineering system models in the
intuitive physical modeling environment of MapleSim, and then
automatically convert the high-performance, high-fidelity
MapleSim models to S-Function blocks for seamless inclusion in
Simulink diagrams. You can add MapleSim’s intuitive physical
modeling environment, optimization and analysis tools, and
design documentation abilities to your development environment
while producing Simulink models that are more efficient than
those you would get using Simulink with appropriate add-ons. |
|
|
|
BlockImporter for Simulink
BlockImporter for Simulink is a Maple™ add-on that allows you
to import your Simulink models into Maple, where you can then
turn them into MapleSim custom components for inclusion in
MapleSim. This process is made simple with the use of the
MapleSim Import Template,
available from the Application Center. BlockImporter for
Simulink converts your Simulink model into a set of concise
mathematical equations, which are optimized and simplified in
Maple using built-in symbolic math techniques. These equations
form the basis of a new, highly efficient MapleSim custom
component that can be simulated in the MapleSim environment,
used as part of more complex models, and even exported back
into Simulink using the MapleSim Connectivity Toolbox as a
replacement for the less efficient original model |

Tunable RF
Module |
|
This RF module is a tunable, RF, analog front end designed for
Lyrtech small form factor (SFF) software defined- |
|
radio. (SDR) development
platforms. The module covers low-band (0.2–1.0 GHz) or
high-band (1.6–2.3 GHz)
|
|
frequencies and, when it is
combined with the SFF SDR evaluation module and ADACMaster III
module |
|
(high-speed AD/DA board), the
whole becomes a complete and integrated hardware and software
development |
|
solution for a wide range of
software-defined radio applications. |
