Introducing Modern Modeling Techniques to the Undergraduate Control Course

ven., 24 sept. 2010 19:00:00 Z

It’s been almost a decade since the turn of the century and for the most part, the way we teach undergraduates fundamental and design concepts in control systems have remained unchanged for almost 30 years. Within industry, however, control systems design have emerged as one of the most important modern engineering techniques in the 21st Century, especially in key segments such as automotive and aerospace. For industry, control design today is about the design and deployment of embedded digital design logic on chips in electronically controlled devices (e.g. modern electronic fuel injection, stability control, etc.). Are we preparing our students adequately for this challenge?

This Webinar will be a survey of the realities in control systems applications in industry and a review of key techniques using MapleSim and Maple to enrich the curriculum. Examples from various industries will be provided.

La génération automatique des équations au cœur du projet

jeu., 23 sept. 2010 12:00:00 Z

MapleSim, le logiciel de modélisation physique multi-domaines de nouvelle génération, offre une solution unique pour décrire interactivement tout modèle dynamique et générer automatiquement sa formulation analytique directement dans le logiciel de calcul formel Maple. Maplesoft propose également BlockImporter, qui permet de traduire de nombreux modèle SimulinkTM de The Mathorks, directement sous la forme d’équations dans Maple.
L’accès aux équations du système est le point de départ de tout projet de conception. Sans outil de calcul formel, cette étape est bien souvent faite manuellement, engendrant des délais supplémentaires considérables, ainsi que des risques d’erreur importants. En décrivant et manipulant leurs équations dans Maple, les ingénieurs peuvent depuis longtemps accélérer leur projet tout en s’assurant de la rigueur de leurs calculs. Avec les outils de génération automatique de formulation analytique, ils peuvent aujourd’hui produire les équations de systèmes de plus en plus complexes tout en profitant de la rigueur et de la puissance du calcul formel.
Lors de ce séminaire nous montrerons plusieurs exemples de génération automatique de formulation analytique et nous illustrerons comment les exploiter pour la conception avec les très nombreux outils de calcul numérique et symbolique de Maple.

Drawing Parallels between Different Engineering Disciplines with MapleSim

mar., 21 sept. 2010 19:00:00 Z

The physical world is goverened by universal concepts, and many systems can be modeled simply with a basic undestanding of these key principles. Students, however, often only follow a narrow engineering curriculum, and may not appreciate how their skills can be applied to other fields. The growing emphasis on multidomain modeling in industry, however, is compelling evidence that universities need to give students a broader understanding.

This webinar, appropriate for both professors and students to attend, will discuss how MapleSim can be used to explore other disciplines using pre-existing skills, illustrated with examples from fluid flow, electrical modeling and heat transfer.

Symbolic Techniques for Optimizing Multibody Models

mar., 14 sept. 2010 19:00:00 Z

Engineers at the beachhead of product development have embraced plant modeling tools over traditional signal flow software. However, multibody models generate large systems of equations. The equations may include redundant multiplications, differential algebraic equations and common operations repeated many times.

These equations can take a significant amount of time to solve numerically. However, a new breed of plant modeling tools use advanced symbolic math technology to optimize these equations to the most computationally efficient form, hence making them faster to solve (and more efficient to implement in a real-time system). This webinar explores this concept through MapleSim.
